These platforms are already censored. It's not that hard to get a Tweet annulled or kicked off FB. The issue is that right now, it's just 'opaque, private policy', mostly concerned with over violence, literally hate speech, that kind of stuff. Twitter's banning of The NY Post a few days before an election though is quite problematic. If there were some reasonable guidelines it might be a good idea, but I'm not sure how it would work. The only answer I see is for Social Media to be very transparent about their policies, very consistent, probably have an external board and commit to some common standard approach. It's one thing for FB/Twitter, altogether more difficult for Google though they've managed to stay out of it mostly.
