Why do they even need a law? The social media companies are more than willing to censor “hate speech” (you know what that means) without any law.

“Why do they even need a law?”

Because they want to be able to send Trump to jail if he sends a mean tweet.

Not even a leftist judge would condone direct government regulation of speech on private social media platforms.

Sadly, these same judges would likely not see, nor worry about, indirect government influences, much less direct, inside instructions, as we have seen, on social media platforms, which constitute the same thing.
