I am not happy about this. Let the market control the media.

This now gives the next president the opportunity to shut down voices like Rush.

Zuckerberg is the market. You can’t speak of markets in a monopolistic situation.

Not if you cut him off and limit his access.

Facebook is not forever, neither is Twitter or any other social media platform.

Let the market control, not the government.

In political campaigns while the use of Social Electronic Formats are useful in presenting political positions. Relying solely on using those venues is a mistake because of their SEF content limitations and media bias .

Consideration of the use of reprinted material including handouts and flyers such as of articles in FR and the planning of area saturation distribution known as “blitzing” in the targeted area is essential of one wants to win.

“I am not happy about this. Let the market control the media.”

The social media has a monopoly, right up to the Nov. 2020 election. No market will be able to correct for that; meanwhile all the social media (twitter/facebook/utube, etc.) will censor, suppress, eliminate as much conservative opinion on their sites as possible, to sway the election. So much for your market forces. Be realistic.

So cut out their legal exemptions, stop government transfer payments to users that fund those systems via usage-based ad rates. I'm ok with that.

And when they censor content anyway, what will the consequences be? There would have to be an immediate and severe consequence that all would see as directly related.
No citations or ponderous notes.

Have you read the laws? The dispute is about whether an organization is a publisher, or a platform supporting content distribution. If they censor and edit according to a bias or political viewpoint, they are then considered to be a publisher and are then liable for lawsuits. As simply a content distributor (like telephone companies supplying a platform for communications free of censoring), they have protections provided by government.

Twitter broke the rules, and are now considered a publisher open to lawsuits because of their interference as a content distributor. The market is controlling the media; President Trump's action reaffirms this.

DeGoogle your life to the extent possible. Some decent resources here:

Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship

Sec. 2. Protections Against Online Censorship. (a) It is the policy of the United States to foster clear ground rules promoting free and open debate on the internet. Prominent among the ground rules governing that debate is the immunity from liability created by section 230(c) of the Communications Decency Act (section 230(c)). 47 U.S.C. 230(c).

Sec. 3. Protecting Federal Taxpayer Dollars from Financing Online Platforms That Restrict Free Speech. (a) The head of each executive department and agency (agency) shall review its agency's Federal spending on advertising and marketing paid to online platforms.

Sec. 4. Federal Review of Unfair or Deceptive Acts or Practices. (a) It is the policy of the United States that large online platforms, such as Twitter and Facebook, as the critical means of promoting the free flow of speech and ideas today, should not restrict protected speech.

Sec. 5. State Review of Unfair or Deceptive Acts or Practices and Anti-Discrimination Laws. (a) The Attorney General shall establish a working group regarding the potential enforcement of State statutes that prohibit online platforms from engaging in unfair or deceptive acts or practices.

Utterly unconstitutional and based on unconstitutional and invalid federal law, all of which has no constitutional authority Nowhere does the Constitution authorize the feds to regulate private individual or private company behavior, ESPECIALLY speech.

Instead of curtailing the already massively unconstitutional federal government and acts, Trump is unwittingly expanding such unconstitutional power of the feds into an even greater totalitarian power.

This is not the road to making America great again. This is the road to destroying America and the road to ruin.
