"This argument doesn't hold up in practice, because currently, the powerful are already protected"
Not on social media. Anyone can post a video or article attacking powerful people and groups, and thus "we" need new laws that will protect people on social media.
I am blocked by my local elected representative on Twitter. I was able to get better constituency service publicly on Twitter than I can via email or voicemail. But if I can be blocked, no problem.
Censorship and safety tools on social media need to be very carefully designed because at scale they get abused.
