In person two people cannot talk at the same time hence one person can monopolize the discussion unless moderated. The same thing does not necessarily happen on social media, at least not in the same way. Two people can talk and post at the same time without preventing each other from communicating to their audience. And you can filter obnoxious users should you wish to do so. But if the platform bans people or deletes posts because they discuss things they disagree with politically, you prevent the audience from accessing content they might find interesting. In this case the moderation is trying to shutdown the debate not really facilitating it. You need moderation, but the big platform have clearly shown that they have trouble resisting the temptation of abusing it.
