I don't think all companies should be forced to maximize democratic values, but the ones like Facebook that have become so large that they are used by 2/3 of the people in the country absolutely should. A local website with a few hundred users shouldn't be held to the same standards as one that has made itself a dominant factor in public discourse.

Again, I think your preference requires a litmus test to decide which services should and which shouldn’t. I don’t agree that FB should be a content neutral platform. Just because there are network effects and social media is common do not mean they are “the” town square. They are more like a private mall where lots of people are allowed, but some people have been banned for trespassing.
