While I personally support the fact that Trump's ban was a "necessary evil," one of my friends, who's from Europe, argues that the GAFAs are becoming more and more "Orwellian" in the sense that, anyone would doesn't fit in their ideology is banned and despised. I do not share his perspective but the question is interesting.

Yes, Instagram and Twitter advocate one ideology and have recently increase censorship on their platform. But they are not a "Ministry of Truth" simply because they are not a governmental agency. Government guarantee liberty of speech to some extend, private corporation are free to publish what they feel is appropriate, just like newspaper who endorse a candidate or an ideology. You can express yourself on a big social media platform, but it is not the only place you can do it.
