Hypocritical how? As Scroopy mentioned, they have terms and conditions. There are specific policies in place. One of those is that you can't spread hate speech, which also happens to be restricted by law in many countries.
They're still open platforms. You can spread nearly any idea you want, so long as you aren't spreading hate speech, which seems pretty fair.
Are you suggesting that hate speech is simply a "disagreeable idea"? Given that there is no shortage of voices on these platforms from across the political spectrum, what ideas or beliefs do you think they disagree with?
Do you disagree with restricting hate speech?
