This is one of those problems where the sickness is uncomfortable but the readily available remedies probably do more harm than good. Facebook and internet platforms more broadly definitely seem to enforce double standards on what is and isn't allowed on their platforms. This is very likely due to the narrow set of viewpoints (or more importantly, voiced viewpoints) at these companies. I worked in 2-3,000 person tech company in San Francisco 2015-2019 and interned at other Bay Area companies, and I can attest that there's a pretty strong liberal monoculture going on there. That the hammer comes down on conservative speech is pretty clearly apparent to me, and I don't think this is good for society in a platform as big as Facebook et. al. On the other hand, this is entirely within their rights. These are private companies and they have no obligation to host content impartially. Any legislation on this would be a pretty flagrant violation of the First Amendment. Not to mention this requirement is just hopelessly hard to enforce, and is bound to be subjective and prone to abuse if some body is given authority to define this for all online companies. The only argument that can feasibly be made is to treat Facebook and other platforms like utilities - a power company can't just decide to not do business with people they don't like. But that's extremely far-fetched. I think good argument can be made to treat server hosting providers, payment processors, and domain name providers like utilities. It's not hard to create your own forum, but it is prohibitively hard to set up your own server farm, lay your own fiber cable, and somehow get users to connect to your site with just an IP. I could get behind treating the infra as a utility, splitting hairs over the platforms themselves is not a priority for me. As long as the infrastructure doesn't discriminate, the market will sort things out of the incumbents don't stay on top of things as far as providing a good public forum.
