You have to hold private companies responsible for the content they syndicate. If freedom is free it has no value.
We ran into the same issues as mass communication started to appear in the 1920s and 1930s. The danger of giving everyone the megaphone is obvious then and now. Tight regulation limited the impact of extremists and crazy people in the United States and other places, it empowered fascists and dictators in other places.
Twitter and YouTube's promise was and remains amazing. The problem is people whose speciality is garnering attention will drown out rational voices. That why the POTUS is a demented game show host.
