Should be a binary operation. Either you:

1) censor your users content and are therefore responsible for the content that you allow

-or-

2) you don’t censor and you are not responsible for the content

That is correct but any new law needs to strictly where the liabilities and responsibilities lie.

1) a publisher can censor users and exert editorial control, but is liabile for their content

2) a platform is not liable for content or communication, but they may not restrain content (except when it overtly threatens public safety).

Legislation like this would protect people's (and businesses) rights to free speech as well as protect people's rights to pursue civil action against those who would libel, slander, or were harmed. It would take away the ridiculous best of both worlds fantasy-land that social media currently gets.
