I am not saying "speech shouldn't be afforded more protections than unsafe physical goods." You have to look at the context and case-by-case basis. Thus the insidious and deleterious effects of Social Media should not be disputed/argued but only the level of regulations should be debated/discussed. Free Speech is always limited eg. I should be able to say whatever i want about the President but cannot call for his Assassination (except in very rare cases like bloodthirsty dictators/warlords/etc.) Same is the case with majority vote in a democracy, the President is given certain overarching powers like veto/presidential decree etc. which allows him to overrule the majority in exceptional cases. The point here is the need to act now by imposing some basic level of regulations on Social Media and then work on fine-tuning it over time.
