There is no more debate. The platforms have chosen to take responsibility for what they host. Every major platform now actively polices their networks and removes content for flimsy political reasons. If Apple has the resources to remove an educational app about the American civil war from their store because it contains a picture of confederate flag, then they can certainly remove stuff like this.
Platforms don't just get to be neutral carriers only when it is convenient for them. They don't get to be neutral about ISIS recruitment videos and child porn, but take a principled stand against political incorrectness and impolite speech.
Even companies like Cloudflare have abdicated their neutrality, they now remove content for non technical and non legal reasons.
They made their bed. I hope they get sued.
