Oh, no. I'm certainly not seeking legal advice :) Consider it more of 'thinking out loud'. But given the karma on my posts, maybe my idea isn't being conveyed.

I was thinking more akin to the lawsuit that happened against Trump 1.5 years ago, when he was blocking citizens on Twitter. And he was overruled in court. I think the legal confusion was "what is a private social media site when politicians are making political speech?"
I know we also had a snafu here in Bloomington, IN over the same. A politician was using a local FB group for campaigning. They were also a mod as well of the group, and were restricting speech on said group. It was resolved in an unrelated way when they were caught in some questionably illegal things, and they stepped down. But left the 'private social media, with politicians and political speech' unanswered.
