"But we want to democratize the internet and give people a voice"
There is a huge difference between "freedom of speech" and "freedom to others attention". The core rot in facebook is not that it allows people to say whatever they want, its that facebook promotes and amplifies what people says algorithmically in ways that are harmful. There are plenty of restrictions on "free speech" as implemented in the US, adding restrictions around algorithmic ranking based on engagement metrics should be an easy pill for the legal system to swallow.
