This is because there are two types of Social Media: Advertiser focused and personal data focused.

Advertiser focused ones don't want you to swear or use words like Rape, Kill, or Porn because Advertisers are skittish little pissbabies who don't want any type of controversy and just want silly memes and stupid dancing so you can see ads from influencers and/or themselves, they make money through ads. Stray too far dances and memes and slop onto actual tailored and interesting content, then they'll drag you back to the uncontroversial content (has happened to me a couple of times).

Data focused ones make their money from the data you give them. From what you like, what you say, what you do. They'll sell that data to advertisers so they can either sell you shit or decide if you can have the insurance you need to buy insulin that month. They want you on there as long as possible and the best way they can do that is to make you angry, scared, and hateful. They will look at your mental state and serve you ads that take advantage of that. The angrier and more furious you are, the longer you stay on there. That's where the slur people come from. That's also where things like pogroms and riots come from. These companies want riots, murders, and far right shit to happen because it actually makes money for them, so they serve you that with their algorithm. Sometimes they'll serve you ads to sway your opinion to whoever pays them money, like what they did with Trump and Brexit.
