The argument in this context is that social media enjoys the legal protections of being a "platform" while operating much more in the mode of a "publisher". As somebody who (as here) frequently finds his opinions squelched, I'm unimpressed with all of the angst. No one is forcing anyone to use any platforms, or be in the internet at all. The idea that the big platforms should be treated more like utilities doesn't seem fully formed.
