It gets worse than that. "White nationalism", whatever that is, is now outlawed on most major social media. That happened formally for Facebook after the unspeakable Christchurch mosque shootings, but the ban was already in play.
These inherently vague pejorative labels, such as conspiracy theorist, racist, white nationalist, etc., are overlapping more and more so that large areas of discourse and political dissent, such as wanting change in immigration policy for which Trump was elected, are being marginalized off the public square, becoming heretical, pathologized, or even criminalized. Any criteria for hate speech is not universally applied to the left as it is to the right, and the major tech companies have displayed significant political bias to the left, as shown by recent admissions from Google and other executives coming forward acknowledging that Silicon Valley will use its control over information to prevent Trump being re-elected.
