If we replaced Sarah Palin with some left-wing politician, I'm not sure this article would get any traction. People would be saying "their platform, their rules", "freedom of speech only applies to the government" and calling out author for his sexist slurs and throwing around the "hate speech" label. I'm not sure what the solution is, even recent articles on proposed social media legislation[1] led to comments that Trump is trying to "censor the internet".

Of course. Just look at how leniently reddit deals with left wing hate subs like late stage capitalism. They advocate murder and genocide all day long and reddit doesn't do shit. On the other hand the_donald is one of the most tightly moderated subs, they don't allow any sort of "hate" speech. But still they keep putting restrictions on it and threatening bs actions. Same deal with Twitter.
