They are private companies. They can publish all the propaganda they want. The worst thing to do is to limit them. Let people decide what they use the platforms for. Now the establishment of the free press? Different issue. I can start up my own web site. Can the company that hosts the web site shut me down? Most likely yes. It is their platform. Do we need web hosting sites that will allow free speech? yes. You will need all your own infrastructure for the hosting. but it can and should be done. If Musk is smart he will build the other amazon and google platforms to allow that. Trumps? maybe but he is more into branding not pikes and bridges.

Read the district court opinion. This is not companies just doing what they want. The factual case amassed by the Judge is damning to the government.
>They can publish all the propaganda they want. <
Then they lose Rule 230 protections and are able to be sued for that propaganda. They cannot have it both ways.
