Forbes quoted Dmitry Magonya in an article titled: "Unfree Speech: How U.S. Social Media became participants in political struggle"

Social networks like Twitter and Facebook, and as well as Amazon are actively involved in the political life of the country, banning the incumbent U.S. President Donald Trump censoring the posts of his supporters, and removing applications. They attribute it to “calls for violence” in the posts, but some consider such actions an outrageous violation of free speech. Why is this happening and how legitimate is it?
