> Actual riots, insurrection, disruption of government, assaults on law enforcement, damage to government buildings, theft of government property, violence, and deaths, have occurred.

This describes the past half-year in Portland, Seattle, and more sporadically in many other cities.

I believe that no accounts on the Left: organizing, not merely advocating - have been permanently shut down.

So, I'm very skeptical that anything legitimate has changed. It feels very political.

This. There are groups like Rose City Antifa in Portland or EDM (Every Day March) in Seattle that regularly engage in widespread violence, disruption, and illegal behavior. They organize and advertise and evangelize their events on all the typical social media platforms. They haven’t been given even a warning, let alone a ban. And yes, people have died due to these groups’ actions.
