I would have agreed not that long ago, but a lot of those platforms became defacto public squares. You do not get to benefit from a public good without burdens that come with it.

What public good are they benefiting from?

Being a defacto pulic square is what they benefit from. I get where you are going with this so can you move to the point you clearly want to make?

Your definition of a public good does not fit at all with what the accepted definition is, so I am not sure how to argue with you.
They are in no way using a public good, so arguing that they need to follow the rules that we place on public good doesn't make sense.
