The outcome of "breaking up advertising monopolies" can be achieved with existing anti-trust law, without cannibalizing an existing protection that benefits every UGC website large and small.
> Is it too much to ask for social media companies to actually abide by their TOS? How often have we seen people complain (outside the realm of politics) about getting banned without explanation or appeal?
A physical business can trespass you for any non-protected-class reason they want. Online, one should expect no different treatment.

I don't think it requires cannibalizing existing protections in order prevent section 230 from being invoked in anti-trust cases. And for the record, I don't think I agree with all of the DOJ recommendations, but I think there may be room for improvement. > A physical business can trespass you for any non-protected-class reason they want. Online, one should expect no different treatment. I'm not entering into a legal agreement simply by entering a physical business. However, terms of service are a legal agreement. A lot of tech businesses seem to be under the impression that a TOS doesn't actual impose any obligations on them, but in fact it does.
