“These are privately owned business andthe federal government has no business regulating them.”

As far as I know election interference and unreported in-kind political contributions aren’t supposed to be “regulated”, but rather, “prosecuted”.
Al Capone’s business card said he was a used furniture dealer. I agree with you that we would have had no business telling him he had to sell less tables and more chairs.
Sure you can call it election interference, but I don’t know how you would defend that claim.
Personally, I think if Facebook or Twitter don’t want to accept money to put up certain election ads, they don’t have to and the feds should have no say about it.
