This is very much untrue. Most of the conservatives (including the non-conservative called Donald Trump) banned from the main platforms are further from terrorist content than AOC is.

Not without a lot of effort. Having to go hunt down lists of conservatives and the exact things they got removed for is hours of work. Then it's another hour looking through AOC tweets. Then there's the write-up at the end.
It’s important to look at the context around those bans.
The most recent ban from the companies you’ve listed was Visa banning PornHub. They did so because of the amount of underage and non-consentual content on the website.
Yes, companies can ban you in theory, but everything indicates that they do so only in extreme circumstances, like hosting child porn or terrorist content (which is essentially what Parler is being banned for).
