I don't see this in terms of whether tech co's should "ban hate speech". I see it in terms of whether they should decide to turn themselves and their employees into political targets, especially in the context of escalating political violence and willingness by political actors to go after oppositional infrastructure (cf, hostility towards left wing journalists).

Con Ed doesn't have this problem and manages to make tons of money, despite providing power to I assume some number of literal nazis.
