All your cites are for white nationalism, which is by definition antithetical to a free American society. They also seem to be conflating actions taken by the government (2, 5) and operations taken by private companies (4).
I'm also not sure what you mean by "extra-legally" in this context. "Extralegal" means not regulated or sanctioned by law. AirBnB banning people from its platform is certainly regulated - for example, you can't ban based on protected classes (of which being a white nationalist is not). Governmental hiring, military admissions, etc. are all clearly very regulated environments.

And don't worry, they'll define every opinion they want to suppress as "antithetical to a free American society" - anti-immigration becomes white supremacy, anti-war becomes Muslim extremism/support of dictators, anti-factory-farming becomes eco-terrorism [1],... > conflating actions taken by the government and operations taken by private companies I'm not conflating anything. I'm listing the risks of surveillance - they are present in both the corporate and governmental spheres, not limited to only one or the other.
