This has been happening to me on FB recently. Also, FB frequently will removed my “likes” on friend’s posts. I’ve been extremely vocal and share many posts regarding the censorship, dangers of the shots, etc.
I've had that like rollback effect happen on Twitter, but I always thought it was a technical glitch. I re-heart it when that happens, and it seems to take.
At the top it's all about manipulating behavior. The first studies were done on animals: they knew that if they had one lever that gave an animal a reward and another that caused an electric shock, the animal would quickly learn to just press the food lever, ignoring all of that around them. Eventually they would grow bored with it, until a second element: randomization, was added to the mix. Sometimes no food, sometimes a little bit, sometimes a lot. This is what social media sites do: they train you to have the reward of likes for say, a photo you took, encouraging you to try to get more likes, shares, social clout with your next post. Before you grow bored of checking your phone for new likes and comments they add randomization into it. You can't post that antivax screed maybe you need to post a kitten video instead, and if you speak too loud you might end up not able to get those like rewards. They're still the researchers at the top controlling the algorithm of rewards and can make those buttons say anything that they want them to...and you're staring at your phone screen like an obsessive compulsive lab rat
Can we not ever reach the point where we stop allowing Twitter to set the terms of online discourse?
Until/unless we get to the point where being banned from Twitter is a non-event, irrelevant and not worthy of discussion, Twitter will continue to set the rules, and people who whine about violating those rules will continue to highlight the relevance and power of the website.
Why is it such a big deal to not be allowed to tweet?
I never was a twitter fan and wouldn't be concerned if they kicked me off the platform. But I understand and respect the power that these networks (Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Instagram) have over people who have developed a large and diverse following over years or decades, especially those at risk of being demonetized over views that have nothing to do with the original purpose of their channel. Facebook also has some leverage because of the size of scale both with its messenger system (often free internet in Thailand while other sites cost money) and its groups, which ironically serve a real Craigslist-esque purpose of finding local. In short if I want to meet up with other homeschooling parents in Las Vegas so my child can have some friends, or I want to sell my car or some chickens in Phuket, Thailand, I can find a facebook group for that. The big picture problem is the near monopoly many of these sites have on both who gets to speak and whether that content is seen or not

They’re all in on it.
They hate you. You’re just useful for making money.
Sorry. They’re demonic souls running those mills.

What do sociopaths thrive upon?
Controlling others
There’s a whole world out there. Enjoy it
I'll try to seize the day...;-)
