From another non-US citizen, this doesn't seem like the case at all; TBH, it sounds pretty paranoid.
The sitting US president has been spreading (easily disprovable) lies about election fraud for months - Facebook and Twitter didn't stop him. They are only acting now because the US president went just a little too far (leading to a violent mob attacking Capitol Hill), and also because they have to be seen to do something, lest the government try to force regulation on them.
