Yes. All of those are products or services, and therefore should be allowed to advertise.

Okay, and they're all political, depending on who you ask. What type of political ad do you want to see banned, which isn't a product or service?

The political ad that justifies genocide of a sovereign nation?

We can close the door on free speech now that we have the numbers.

Free speech does not mean anyone should offer a megaphone to some private entity (especially non-individual ones).

It's up to Twitter and Facebook to decide if they want such messages amplified on their platform and to earn money for that.

Or we can make these platform utilities but then, we could also make ads illegal in public spaces (I can speak freely when I take the subway, but I'm not allowed to yell advertisements, and it's fine!).

Just be honest and admit that you are pro-censorship in this particular case.
