I think you might be viewing the situation at too low a resolution. Do you not see any salient differences between a Senator running an inquisition to root out political adversaries, and a social platform forbidding people from threatening other users?

McCarthyism wasn’t so much about the senator, it was about the media and hollywood not hiring anyone they thought had leftist opinions to not give them a platform and spread their toxic ideas. I think it is like for like what is happening now.
