This is quite a take. Regulation could be government overreach, but banning social media outright is not?

Yeah who's doing the banning? The government? Who can also.... Regulate...

I think they'd regulate. Hard to argue that regulation is more overreaching than banning lol

These rights of free speech are part of the social contract. People who break that social contract to bring down the system of freedoms or to do harm to others have that right revoked.

No one has the right to use freedom to trample others.
