He does. Same with any other platform you do not “own” your account. You have credentials to login to an account you created.
This should not be news to anyone. This applies to all social media, all entertainment, and every other account you use online.
Which is why it's really important to have some trust /reputation if using these services.
Why anyone would use a service run by a fascist entitled madman who literally represents the very worst version of humanity is beyond me and they deserve whatever they get.

The platform owns the platform.
You have given the platform permission to use anything on the platform however they want.
They own the content you put on the platform.
This will depend on the terms of service agreement. Some of them try to get away with this, while others just give themselves an irrevocable license to use content you publish on their platform.
