So can media organizations. They just can't pre-moderate the comments.

Where are you seeing a requirement to pre-moderate?
Re:Response to Google open letter by asdfasgasdgasdg on Monday August 17, 2020 @03:35PM (#24190988)
There is no such requirement. But that is the capability they want that they do not currently have. They already have the capability to delete comments, just like you can delete comments on your own posts.

If they want that, why wouldn't they put it in the law? And if they want it but it's not in the law, then why do we care?

Perhaps that's what the draft legislation means by "remove or filter comments"?
