Parent wasn't making a legal argument. A bunch of the comments in this thread are about trust. Do you think it's good for trust to have "for profit companies policing their content to attain maximum ad revenue"? Is maximizing profit the only thing that social networks should care about? Or are there other obligations also?

Do I think it’s good? I do not. That’s one of the reasons I dislike the crux of the argument about free speech on Twitter. Social media doesn’t care about those things. They may say they do when they are flush with money (remember Google’s “don’t be evil”), but when push comes to shove, they’ll do anything to make a buck. There is a place for social media in our world, I just don’t want to hold it up to such lofty aspirations that it will never achieve.
