I think the argument in favor of the Florida and Texas is the the various Social Media sites are less platforms and more common carriers.
I don't buy it but it's totally crazy. When I'm DM'ing someone it's hard to say X isn't acting like a common carrier. It's the same tool used in a different way for it to be a platform.
When it's a platform the moderation may or may not be legal depending upon what the Supreme Court says but honestly - everyone wants that moderation. It's a pipe dream to think that people aren't going to get it one way or the other.
Common carrier traffic is moderated (see mail handler spam filters) but everyone knows the rules about what gets allowed and what doesn't. If common carrier traffic was moderated like platform traffic everyone would be horrified - and so it's not.
