Don't know which celebrities you're talking about, but over here it's mostly been cryptocurrency exchanges getting debanked.
Which seems like an obvious move to hamper potential competition or market disruption until they get on top of the action.

I'm not sure what the point of Twitter is anymore, it's just a cesspit of political angst and e-thots, it's also far worse with spam, fake accounts and trolls under Elon. Facebook sucks too but the marketplace is good and it's good to keep up with local events that are happening.

Nah, I don't think it's new. Locally, even before crypto, it made the news when publicly owned banks debanked people for cancelling their wives credit cards maliciously.
Historically, private banks have been much more picky reputationally.
In terms of financial privacy, aside from taxation of course, here in Australia it was mostly the hyperlegislation in the wake of 911 that lead to there essentially being none.

You think celebrities and politicians should get more consideration than regular citizens?
Wasn't it a private bank, and he was offered a regular account but didn't want the same accounts offered to the hoi polloi?
Not sure how politicians being refused special treatment by private banks relates to social media and the surveillance state.
