That's the way the system had handled it for ages. Common carriers vs publishers. Tech companies decided that didn't apply to them, and they could have the best of both worlds.

Social media is a bit different than, say, the phone system, in its ability to widely broadcast things.
It's different from traditional publishers in that there are orders of magnitude more 'publishers', rather than, say, a newspaper and a few TV stations per city.
It's a tricky problem.
