But if you own the biggest social network in the world and say "Taylor Swift is no longer allowed to advertise or promote her music on this platform", just because you don't agree with her politics, people might see that as censorship, or at least shady.

But social networks are businesses too, right. They're beholden to advertisers, just like network TV. So what they allow is constrained by what advertisers will accept. And lastly, the network is beholden to its own users. If the users don't like being surrounded by Nazis, they'll leave.
Compare Twitter when it was bought to it now. On any metric it's much worse. Lower revenue, 10x lower valuation. It's a cesspit, but at least no right winger is censored right! That's something.
