as we've seen in recent years, social media is a highly effective platform for influencing people. in general, the platform is immune to legal repercussions for stuff that users post, because it isn't construed as the company's own message. this leaves the door open for a "neutral" platform to influence people through selectively moderating certain content. people here aren't demanding that reddit (and other sites) let people post whatever they want. they are asking for sites of a certain size to actually be neutral as a condition of safe harbor protections. to me this seems pretty fair. if you have millions of users and exercise editorial control over the content, you should be on the hook for what's left.
