Twitter isn't the government. They have the First Amendment right of Freedom of Association. The government of Chicago doesn't.
You don't get to cherry pick which parts of the First Amendment you like and which ones you don't.

Unfortunately, the U.S. Government does - it creates a special agency, JUST IN TIME to censor Twitter (and currently appears to have direct a direct connection to censor Facebook & Instagram). When people with a .gov email can specifically direct social media to remove messages that they don't like - that direct government connection implicates the First Amendement.

"The disinformation board was announced shortly after billionaire Elon Musk reached an initial deal to buy Twitter in order to implement pro-free speech and anti-censorship reforms — heightening suspicion that it would be used by the administration as a bludgeon against free expression."
