An obvious candidate for a next step in this slippery slope is criticism of religion. Will comments criticizing fundamentalist beliefs (young Earth creationism, etc.) be deleted within 24 hours? Identity politics is normally associated with the nominally "left," but really it's the right and especially the religious right who have been experts in the weaponized use of identity politics in the last few decades. The entire Reagan and Bush eras were built on the use of identity politics to mobilize the "base" and keep critics on the defensive. Liberals invent identity politics plays, but conservatives take it to production at scale. I expect to see right-wingers totally co-opt this bandwagon real soon now. The Larry Flynt principle still stands: the measure of freedom of speech is the freedom afforded the most offensive or idiotic speakers. I don't support haters, but I support their right to spew it. Unfriend and block exist for a reason.
