The significance of the Moore incident is that it shows that a long-developing pattern of deletions and removals is expanding. The early purges were mainly of small/fringe voices on either the far right or far left, or infamously fact-challenged personalities like Alex Jones.
Unfortunately the ludicrousness of Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Google, Cloudflare etc setting themselves up as arbiters of truth or morality will come back to bite them.
Having done it once for "good reason" they will need to justify themselves to whoever is in power as to why they cannot do it for "other pressing reason".
If they cannot position themselves simply as operators of a mechanism that allows individuals and groups to act as their own publishers then they are a threat to us.
Time to get rid of them. I do not need to be protected from the opinions of anyone. I can make my own mind up.

They want to be in this position. Because then they can sell narrative control at a steep price. Compliments their advertising offerings nicely. They can't charge outright, that would be too bad of a look. But they can do favor for favor.
