So Gab uses the "Internet Shield" and we are using the "Internet Sword" I guess?
I think it's weird.. When a platform does not moderate it's content it's not responsible for it? WTF
A government has to full fill freedom of speech, not a social platform! Any platform can create it's own rules and ban users for not complying as simple as that..
It's not that you don't have "free speech", people/platform just don't wanna listen to your shit if you get banned.
@stux You just put the power in the hands of the users, which works better I guess, Don't like what people are saying, mute them and move on.
@zleap Hmm well yes and no! For me it's different as a server admin 
For most users users a simple block will do but I am responsible for the safety of the users on this platform 
And I also have the "power" to act upon it so ❤️
It's a deep rabbit hole. Peeps. Most of us has no idea what moderating content is, how many scammers and bad users pop up constantly and now being pressured by a growing numbers of laws in several countries to moderate content, give feedback as to why you removed a user, a means to appeal etc.. That said, I can't agree with stux at face value, I don't think the question is a as simple as just ban, guilt free.
What I know for sure is in practice is:
a) before removing a business, there must be previous notice, within a specific timeframe
b) there must be transparency to the affected business as to why it's being removed
c) an appeal process is available
Who does one appeal to, in a court of law you are tried before your peers, hence a jury is made from 12 people from the general population who DO NOT know you or have to disclose any connections (then someone is fond to replace them) a judge is also impartial.
