We need a better framework for discussing speech issues in general. Even here arguments devolve into semantics over what the first amendment applies to when we should really be discussing how we actually expect/want society to function. Maybe we can adopt RFC language. Example:
must: A law should/does enforce this
must-not: A law should/does forbid this
should: You have the right to NOT do this, but I believe this is what should be done
should-not: Although you have the right to do this, I believe you shouldn't do this
social media platforms (must|must-not) have the right to police speech
social media platforms (should|should-not|must|must-not) police speech
