If the companies do not do it themselves, the state will eventually start doing it. If they go too far, the state will eventually ban them from doing that.

Just the system working as intended I think?

Governments usually move slow and sometimes (most of the time) they can't react in time and they are after-the-fact legislations. It's NOT OK for companies to sit back and not attempt to stop that behavior. By doing nothing but continuing to do business with them they are essentially approving that behavior. Here's a tweet[1] with some screenshots of some of the type of conversations that are happening on Parler.
