Using public airwaves has never required any entity using them to allow any kind of speech (TV stations). I don't agree with the courts allowing abuse of property for protests either. A mall is not a town.
Just because a court allowed this doesn't make it good. Public takings of private property is something I consider an abuse of power by the government.
This cure is worse than the disease.

You may not agree with it....but there is over a century of legal precedent that would allow for it.

And in this case, we’re not talking about imposing censorship. We’re talking about preventing censorship required by a foreign government. Otherwise, the social media companies will abide by the EU standard globally because its much easier/cheaper to do that than have an EU version of their platform and an American or global version.
