When you hear increasing #NeverTrump (I refuse to say "conservative") calls to ignore Big Tech's censorship, it's vitally important to understand some of the career/economic context. Many of the people most alarmed (like @DavidAFrench) have a personal stake in the issue.
For example, @DavidAFrench has invested enormous time and energy opposing President Trump. He even briefly considered running against the President, before he was publicly humiliated by other conservatives on this very platform.

As conservative norms changed and @DavidAFrench found himself more and more marginalized, his employment at National Review was jeopardized - and ultimately he had to move to The Dispatch, a glorified newsletter.

That's why his tweeting on the subject of social media censorship takes on a slightly-crazed form. It's not just an abstract debate over constitutional principles and corporate values.
No, for @DavidAFrench, it's personal.
