>but you can ban people who happen to be black for inciting violence with conspiracy theories.

You seem to be confused about what the double standard is. They are not being banned and neither are the several dictators using the platforms to promote violence.

You intentionally confused what you mean by saying that blacks should be free to ban. They shouldn't be free to ban based on race.

The platforms are free to ban dictators in the US and other groups in the US that incite violence with conspiracy theories. That is well within their rights, and it is even a public service to do so.
