I generally agree.
FB, however, has reached a critical mass in which “Their, user generated content” owned by FB, is being allocated to other users as Facebook sees fit.
They are either a “Platform” or a “Publisher”, they can’t be both.
If/as FB makes editorial decisions they become a publisher, and there are laws regarding that.

HUD Hits Facebook With Administrative Complaint, Alleging Housing Discrimination
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3680134/posts

* - Apply the antitrust laws against Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc. The last President from New York City, Theodore Roosevelt, was a trust buster against Big Rail, Big Steel, and Big Oil. Trump should do the same against Big Tech.
* - Impose common carrier rules on Big Tech. If the telephone company or the electric company could not shut down, say, the John Birch Society or the George Wallace campaign 50 years ago for any reason other than nonpayment of bills for service, neither should Big Tech be able to shut down Infowars, Prager U, etc., for any reason other than nonpayment for services rendered.
* - Have the Federal Election Commission prosecute Big Tech for in-kind contributions to the Democrats through their practices of shadow banning Republicans and conservatives, thereby giving advantage to Democrat competitors.
