I've seen this exact sentiment expressed more times than I can remember. While I don't consider internet access to be an inalienable human right, the response from Twitter is obviously mealy mouthed. What they are actually saying is "Access to, and use of, Twitter, subject to our terms of service and content moderation policy, is an essential human right in modern society."
Exactly, they believe they are a supranational entity with the right to dictate what is and what isn't acceptable speech world-wide. I'm no fan of dictators or governments who violate their own constitutions, but that does not give Twitter the right to set the rules of speech world-wide.
