Welcome to human machine.
Developing a coherent content policy that addresses the challenges of today without actually suppressing free speech or tilting the scale towards any preferred political party is really hard. No one has figured it out. And no one will figure it out if they continue to do it in the dark. These companies want to look like they know what they're doing, so they periodically release adjustments or major shifts in their policies based on whatever major news event is taking place. These new policy proposals tend to fail miserably in meeting the actual needs of users and protecting the community that should represent that company’s most valuable asset.
