Initiate anti-Trust proceedings, and strip them of Platform privileges, making them civilly liable for content like any other publisher.

Strip them of platform privileges? The government doesn't own the platforms.

I suppose you believe that it wasn't the government's anti-trust laws that took down the monopoly that Microsoft once was.

I suppose you don't believe they took down AT&T for being a monopoly either.........

I suppose you don't believe there was a decision to apply laws to these tech companies as platforms rather than publishers. A decision that allowed these punks to have the pretense of neutrality (and we know now they aren't).

If so, you really need to come to grips with the consequences of your beliefs.

Trump could close all executive branch FB and Twitter pages. Delegitimize them. NO DOD, DOJ, FBI, USDA, CIA, DOE, USFS, NASA, etc.
Google is working on projects for red China, that’s another way to sodomize them.
And no money to be spent for IT services with a company that censors conservative thinking and speech.

He can hurt them bad if he wants.

It does own the exemption from civil liability for content. “I’m just a neutral platform. I didn’t tell him to dox and slander you so you can’t sue me” doesn’t work if you’re a publisher and not a platform.
