Say a social media platform decides to ban someone who hasn't violated the TOS. Let's say they don't even try and pretend that they broke the TOS, but just ban them, stating whatever reason, or perhaps none at all. Is this legally allowed? I assume the answer depends on the fine print of the TOS itself, for which I'm not particularly familiar for any of these platforms, hence the question.
Actually that does happen like some atheist Twitter profiles get shut down, but they usually get reinstated afte a while. It is their right but it gets off as unprofessional and it usually does come to what people think. If it's someone who is a bad person then most people are ok with it and no bad.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
