Sorry man, but the cases seem over here isn't of the importance of the person but the speach.

We have had people like Boulos and another two that are president of the Landless Workers, National Unions and Homeless Worker saying they middle class should be killed or that if Lula is jailed they will shoot down capitalists or throw brazil on fire, etc... they didn't get any flack on facebook. We have had famous singer saying police should be killed also not be moderated. While we have people saying "I don't like gay people" getting banned in less than 1h after the comment was made.

So the social medias aren't really complying with their ToS at all.

Your initial post just mentioned random facebook posts, so you're moving the goalposts.  But no matter, those people should be banned too.  

Where in "Yes let's silence all we disagree with. A very good policy. " I stated general random facebook posts?

I didn't place your response because my point wasn't about your opinion on all deserving a ban (which is what their ToS would say) against my opinion that all should be allowed to say what they want and if they break a law they should be jailed, I was pointing out that the movements that usually push for the bands of people like Trump would condone Bernie saying something equivalent. But since you didn't agree or disagree with it there was no point putting your response.

What type of hate speech you have been seem not being taken care of at all?

That would be the case in the public square. But twitter is a private company, they are legally within their right to ban users for speech. The only thing they nor the government can do is arrest you for it. 

And again, those people are wrong if they're hypocritcal. Although I'd wonder what world I was living in if I saw Bernie tweeting like Trump though,or any leader of a first world country. I literally have to go on his twitter whenever I see a viral tweet of his just to make sure it's real and sadly 99% of the time it is.

I've seen homophobia, racism, sexism etc. I like in the UK I have 'chav's' on my facebook and others that are friends of friends that have written everything without any Ban. Writing about 'paki's' and muslims etc. Facebook are very lax when it comes to enforcing their rules. 

Have I said they aren't allowed to do it? I know they are a private corporation, that is even why I said they are free to not follow or enforce their ToS, I just said I'm against this part of it, simple as that.

May be a question of the bubble we leave within in facebook. But on my account I see a lot of those getting banned and "reverse racism" and manhating getting props and no ban.
