They need to overhaul the FCC and rework and reintroduce the Fairness doctrine and make sure it applies to social networks and that they have access to even the most hidden forms of moderation and how it's getting applied. It should be something rigorous enough that people should be able to issue violation complaints to authorities when breached that will actually be actionable, and it should have different standards between small social networks and large ones.
What I hate about social networks nowadays is how they try to pass off as something that is only surface level and they really make no effort being. Their biases and the sort of comments they are and aren't removing should be on full display, and not just the made up reasons they might stick as an excuse.
