Political alignment or ideology is not a protected class - that's the lone reason they were able to do this. If they would have shut down or refused business to say, a company promoting the interests of Hispanics, the platforms refusing business would have been sued into oblivion.

Private companies have rules they have to abide by, just as restaurants do at the moment.
