How about this, social media platforms must publish their content recommendation algorithms (including criteria for shadow-bans, containment of reach, banning, and so on.) As well as a log of their suspensions and bans and the specific reason for them. Would have bipartisan support. Wouldn't be onerous to satisfy (they wouldn't even necessarily have to host what they publish, it could be hosted on a regulatory agency's site.) And that's just thinking of low-overhead solution off the top of my head. Unfortunately, I think you are attached to the problem too much to accept that there is a solution.

why would I be attached to the problem? I don't like your solution. it would be endlessly litigated. compare to the elegant simplicity of "Congress shall pass no law". your solution calls for more, Jefferson and Madison called for less
