“... it's obvious that deplatforming groups will make them feel persecuted....”

It is persecution.

per·se·cu·tion - hostility and ill-treatment, especially because of race or political or religious beliefs.

They are not deplatformed for their political beliefs, but for their non-moderation of calls for violence. If this happens to be what somebodies politics is about, tough luck. But it’s not the same as persecution.

Twitter does not moderate equally. So why would you expect anyone else to?
