This group doesn't pretend to be an open forum for speech. Twitter does. This is a very small assembly of like-minded individuals who discuss a topic or topics of which they have common interest.
Twitter is a de facto public forum. It has global reach and exposure; EVERYONE knows about Twitter. If you tweet a political message, virtually everyone in the world is potentially exposed to it.
You can't say the same about this site. Anything you post here has very limited exposure to a relatively small group of people. Twitter has 73 million users in the US alone.
You're making a false equivalency.
