Here's the EFF on the importance of CDA 230 for people not familiar with it: https://www.eff.org/issues/cda230 https://www.eff.org/issues/cda230
Edit: also no entity does control social media. There are a decent amount of different sites (Reddit, 4chan, twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, Hackernews, Discord, and a bunch of smaller ones) I think a lot of the issue is that the goalposts for what we consider okay as a society have moved in the last decade or so. For example people care a lot more about hate towards LGBT people, and conservatives are way more likely to run afoul of that. As a interesting side note there have been social media sites started to try to get away from the "censorship" but they have yet to actually catch on.
