Kinda what you’d expect to happen when a significant portion of platforms and ad companies come from a pretty puritanical country that’s just so… weird about sex.
Sex-ed content creators discuss shadowbanning and censorship on Meta platforms

As much as I am anti-censorship and hate all of this, there is no “Freedom of Speech” on social media platforms. They are private companies and are allowed to use any restrictions that do not fall into violations of the very few laws which restrict how companies can treat customers. In the USA, “Freedom of Speech” only guarantees that government agents and laws will not restrict it, and even that is not absolute.
Now the laws and policies about it need stripped along with all non-symmetric indecent exposure laws.

The phones are run by private companies. Should they be allowed to restrict what you say over the phone (or sms)?

Already happens. Facebook and other message systems have content filters built in to their chat systems.
