#3This would be a terrible precedent. These are private companies, who is the government to tell them how to operate without funding them. If you don't like what you read, or if you read things that are not true that is on you as an individual to make appropriate choices. The government shouldnt meddle with social networks. They are just that, social and voluntary.

#6Entirely reasonable either they are publishers and thus have free speech and carry full penalties for all the content they allow. Or they are carriers and thus should have no say, but also no risks of content.

Private companies are regulated all the time. Look up the rules for any utility or communications company. They banned politicians, so that's going to get laws passed.

#9I agree and we should classify the underlying Internet service providers, that social media providers depends on, as common carriers as well!

They are given massive subsidies from the government to do so. Social networks have nothing to do with infrastructure where as utilities and communications do.
