It is not legally a free speech issue. Sure. But it is in fact very, very dangerous. The amount of power that huge tech companies such as Google and Facebook have over people these days is not very far off from the power a government has over people. If they are using that power to silence people they disagree with then that is extremely dangerous. Even if you happen to agree with them this time, you might not in the future. The fact that they are not a government is irrelevant to how dangerous these actions are, considering they have the power to silence millions of people. It is not in any meaningful way comparable to a restaurant owner showing you the door, considering the scale of these networks.
