Plenty of mounting evidence to suggest it may not be Twitter, Facebook, etc. deciding to lock accounts but rather federal agencies acting as directed by the Biden Administration.
Consider this:

state sponsored extortion of media as policy and praxis

Quote:
here’s a fun little missive from nick clegg, the president of global affairs' at facebook parent co “meta” (and also, wait for it, a former UK deputy PM for the liberal democrats) to vivek murthy, the US surgeon general.
(gained by FOIA request)
it’s clearly both collaborative and suppressive.
it’s facebook, working in conjunction with multiple federal health officials to “remove the disinfo dozen” and shadowbanning people by making them “more difficult to find.” they are also getting out in front of “misinformation trends” to suppress them.
this is not independent action from meta.
this is specific, deliberate, and iterative cooperation to suppress speech at the behest of the government.
and this means our government is, if not breaking the law and violating the constitution, certainly flouting its intent.
and this is way past editorial discretion.
the state should not be the media and the media should not be the state. the separation of the fourth estate from government is vital to the survival of anything like an informed populace.
and make no mistake: this practice is widespread, touches everything, and reaches right up to and includes the highest levels of government.
it’s one sided and takes specific aim at specific people.
