Well written, good read. Two points to add. First, those on the right are perfectly fine to cancel people they don't like. I use do go on Breitfart, just to troll a little and provide counter arguments. Anyone who has ever gone there knows how nasty and vicious the comments can be. My comments were never vulgar, pointedly in opposition but rarely personal. Yet some of the yokels who didn't like what I wrote got me banned, and several attempts to contest this have not even gotten a response.

Second, the cancelation of tRump from social media not only stops his nonsense, it also sends a strong message to others who want to use these outlets to spread lies and propaganda. There is a larger reach to these actions than just the orange beast.
