"Social media" is a category, it's not an actual thing. Facebook, NextDoor, YouTube, Twitter, etc are all private property made available to public viewing, and membership-only participation. In order to post on them you must be a member. In order to be a member you must agree to follow the rules. You must accept that if they decide you aren't following the rules, THEY have the right to kick you off their platform. And you maintain the right to leave, if you don't like it.

NextDoor has a policy about not posting about politics, at all. If you comment about something you saw on TV, and that TV show was about politics, then by extension - you are talking about politics. Whether the information was factual or not, if it was about politics, then you violated NextDoor's policy.
Yet Congress created specific laws protecting and outlining responsibilities to these platforms...

It’s Time to Update Section 230
