Your logic doesn’t quite hold. After 2016 and the “Russian collusion” allegations, social media increasingly doesn’t view itself as a “free speech zone,” but as mainstream media and guardians of civic institutions (such as they are).

Not only do social media dislike Trump—and not only do they like dunking on him after he harangued them again and again the past four years—but they see him as the cause of the delegitimization of institutions. Basically, social media is establishment now.
Also, Trump’s allegations are all but baseless. And social media is acting like an editor and publisher—that is, culling content.
And remember—Twitter and Facebook are heavily censoring QAnon—much more than they are censoring our ideas right now. Does that mean QAnon must be true?
