Would you like this thesis as much as it was framed in the other direction? Assume that all platform owners are just fine with that 'particular brand of racist demagoguery' but really can not stand the utterings of the last Nobel peace prize winner (just to give an example) and decide to kick him to the curb. Would that be 'fair enough' or would it cause an outcry? Other than a shift in political bias there is no difference so it should be the former but I expect it to cause the latter.
Those platform owners would come with the same ratification: 'There must be some sort of social responsibility. The Internet gives anyone with a bit of determination the reach and influence previously only available to large organisations'.
