Perhaps we need a better, faster judicial mechanism for taking down "major content". I'm not saying the government is a great solution for this problem, but IMHO it beats the status quo until we can find a better system.

Not your right to be provided an audience
The right to a platform has never been guaranteed. The only difference is that with social media, your message is broadcast first and moderated after.
FB's "platform" feature is largely listener-driven. You can still use FB and not listen to persons X, Y and Z. It's all posted by users, and users decide what to follow or read (except paid content). Not like TV Stations and Newspapers. That's what Social Media companies have been telling us for a while!
But if we want apply usual standards of platform rights and responsibilities to FB, we should then require it to also be responsible for what's posted there.
You can't have it both ways.
