There is a difference between a racist calling Obama a monkey and terrorists planning an attack.
You bet there's a difference.
One is free speech, and as stupid or silly as it might be, no one is likely to be hurt or die as a result.
The other pertains to terror recruitment and radicalization of individuals, in the intent of causing mass murder.
Why would social media execs shut down the former but not the latter?
You have no idea what Fascist even is if that's what you think. The Democrat party as a whole is a ton more Fascist than Trump ever will be.
"a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism."

they do but as usual facts have no place in a CD discussion
It's the left in Germany. Obama would take our right to bear arms in a heartbeat. In fact, he still might.
No, it's not "the left" in Germany. There is broad consensus in Germany that hate speech is not free speech. If you threaten to use the firing squad on the german political establishment or you threaten to set asylum shelters on fire you will be dealt with legally in Germany.
Refusing a public debate on migration will only benefit Far-Right in Germany. Germany’s official response of shutting down the debate and wishing for it to go away, might come at a heavy price.
Americans are the new Nazis. We're all brainwashed from age 5 on. Banning Muslims. Carpet-bombing parts of the Middle East. Fences around the country. Giving up most civil liberties and privacy for the sake of "national security." Allowing people on terrorist watchlists to exercise their right to buy assault weapons. Nazis. The rest of the world sees the U.S. as a hostile, aggressive, overly religious, big bully sticking it's nose into other country's business.
Bringing in refugees is sticking its nose into other countries' business. It's choosing sides.
It appears that the political correctness squad is doing everything it can in order to alienate as many people from it as possible and insure more support for the far-right.
And what do they think they will accomplish with this? They think that once the progressive horde starts censoring people on the internet that people magically wont' hate them anymore? Do they honestly think this won't just backfire horribly and make people even angrier than before? What are they thinking?

Germany kills freedom of speech
