First of all, I think there might be 2 sides to this. I'm not sure which you are referring to. 1) whether a centralized platform is allowed to moderate/censor. 2) whether a centralized platform must moderate/censor.
The best argument I have in favor of 1 is that the owner of the servers gets final say on what they host. It's their systems, after all. Most times it's not like members of these platforms pay to have their posts hosted, so the platform owner doesn't owe them anything.
I'm not in favor of 2 (with the exception of content that's explicitly illegal, e.g. pirated content, of course).
