it’s standard practice for many certain political forums, If you don’t espouse the same beliefs, you will get banned.
Their counter argument is that if you bring up conservative view points, the liberal echo chambers ban you. So they should be able to do it in their free speech spaces.
This also unfortunately hides the fact that hate speech, dog whistles, saying that COVID is a hoax, pushing for falsehoods and getting upset about not being able to do so, is why you get banned.

The difference is, the speech was predominantly conservative in nature. Which leads me to believe the decisions to remove the app were purely a political decision - which is an incredibly dangerous precedent to start.
