There’s a difference between a small or private club and a public utility. Private clubs may exclude. Public utilities may not.

The one thing we must not allow is for foreign (censorious) governments to set the terms under which Americans can speak in America. We must actively forbid large platforms from complying with EU regulations. They may do that in the EU. They must not set the rules for everywhere else - and we need to “help” the social media companies understand that the EU will not set the rules for everybody.

Public utilities are for basic services (water, electricity, ) Internet connections may fall under that but social media platforms definitely don't .
X is a big social media platform that doesn't need the government to tell it how to operate. People don't like it, go somewhere else.
