Interesting points. I think that social networks are not public utilities, but they need to respond to the laws of the countries they operate. For example: IMO it's not up to YouTube to decide automatically if something is a copyright infringement but rather the copyright holder should file a legal complain and the jurisdictional system should have the final word. Social networks on the other hand should be liable if the only way to contact them is some private ticket system that do not engage a public investigation. For example: a comment has been deleted because it's been signaled. The author should have a way to appeal through an independent state run office that will take the final decision. Maybe it would not make things faster or better, but since public offices duty is to serve the public, it's their natural role to respond and resolve disputes, if we let private companies decide on what's right and what's not, we lose control of the public speech, what we achieved building up democracies. There are a lot of ways in which this setup could be abused by tyrants and dictatorships, but it's already happening and letting SN do all the work it's not gonna fix it.
