When it has happened to me first hand, and people I know personally first hand is not conspiracy theory nonsense. While I do not dispute there are bots out in the world, bots are a convenient excuse for censorship allowing them to also suppress opinions they dislike under the guise of suppressing "bots and spam" Your assertation that "Google has been fighting spam" as proof is an ironic example of that because Google fights hard to prevent what they call "bad advertisements" which more or less equates to any ads not shown through one of googles many ads networks. Google Spam == Good non-google spam == BAD. Likewise to these tech companies Liberal Opinions == Good non-liberal Opinions == Bots While there is no doubt they are purging actual bots, they are selective about which bots they purge and they often sweep up human accounts in their purge as well
