I agree. I don't believe each and every social network should be obliged to host every damn extremist group in the nation. On the other hand, ISPs, CAs, and registrars should be obligated to do so, being analogous to public utilities. I'd support a law codifying this requirement.
Social media companies, in the other hand, are more like the modern version of newspapers and magazines. And you don't have the right to be published been the most popular magazine simply because there's where the most readers are.
However, I would put cloud companies like AWS in the bucket of utilities and not media. Gab shouldn't have to worry about being cut off for lack of a hosting company. We can't say, "go find another social media home" to people we disagree with, only to watch in glee as the social media companies that will have them are shut down for lack of a hosting company or data center.
