I agree -- in fact, I'd argue that attacking the problems of social media through the lens of antitrust will result in a far worse outcome than directly addressing the problem head on that these companies have created a privately owned, global public square. The laws need to be updated to reflect the novel realities of the emergence of these platforms, which was likely an inevitability given the arc of the development of the Internet/web, and not something our forefathers could have forecasted when writing applicable laws and regulation around speech.
