I would prefer if facebook/google would not decide which political party is worthy to advertise on their services or not.

Once they start policing that it'll lower the bar for further blocking and we might end up with personal taste playing a role down the line.

You don't get it. We're now at the point where Facebook decides whether we contribute to the bottom line by keeping us on the service.

I stopped going on fb last week. Sure, they still have a page on me, but I'm not watching their ads anymore. They're getting less ad revenue through me. If enough people were to leave, they wouldn't afford to run. Three letter agencies only run on govt revenue.

As yes, don't leave Facebook because of the addictive mind-prison it builds around you or the creepy stasi-esque dossier it keeps on you. Instead quit Facebook as a way of social-signalling your authoritarian left-wing values. That isn't to say I'm not glad of the result either way.
