It's not an intellectually honest argument to try and claim that scientific debate should or could be conducted on public social media, and once you accept the fact that public social media is violently harmful for that kind of discussion, you can see much more readily how non-partisan it is to remove all of it, with a prejudice towards the more proactively dangerous content (e.g. anti-vaxx promotion).

The GOP does not hold a monopoly on conservative views and values, it's just one group of people making collective decisions that are objectively bad for everyone.
