Actually, there are laws governing what social media giants can and can't do. However, they are largely unenforced and the Judicial Branch is being very careful at this stage, because they are trying to walk a tightrope between freedom of speech and not overstepping into over-regulation. I have posted several articles, including from the ABA that detail what those laws are, but it's clear you did not read those, otherwise, you would not have posted your last comment. More and more cases are being brought befodecre the courts to complain about censorship and the courts have already ruled that the social media giants are acting in the capacity as a modern day digital public square where the majority of political speech and debate is occurring. This is the foundation from which successful court cases will start to hold the social media giants for their meddling in elections and political speech. We aren't there yet, but it will happen. Today, it is not Russia that is meddling the most in elections, it is Google, Facebook, and Twitter, who are the 900 pound gorillas deciding what political opinions we are allowed to read and watch. They are the biggest and most biased political meddlers and they are decidedly liberal in their biases.
