Next perhaps RICO for interfering with businesses.
When you get right down to it, Facebook, Google, and Youtube or nothing more then strip malls - places small businesses can set up a public face to sell their goods and services.
Would it be legal for the owners of the strip mall to shut down a business only because they don’t like their opinions.
It is worse then a strip mall since these three own almost all the “property” and they have been conspired together in a way that can be interpreted as restraint of trade.
Facebook, Google and Youtube believe they are too big to be brought under control. Well the Robber Barons of the late 1800s thought the same thing.
“When you get right down to it, Facebook, Google, and Youtube or nothing more then strip malls - places small businesses can set up a public face to sell their goods and services.

You left out the part where you dont pay rent to Facebook, nor hold a legal lease for your “storefront”.
If you run a business, then stop being cheap and go get an actual website.
“Would it be legal for the owners of the strip mall to shut down a business only because they don’t like their opinions.”
If you ask some of the libertarian lunatics on FR that question, the answer is “YES!”
The lunatics would also be in favor of someone buying the road in front of your house and telling you you can’t use it because it’s now private property.
The solution would be for you to buy and miles of property so you could build your own road.
