Even if their algorithms threaten to destabilize society by amplification? Bear in mind these platforms come with many forms of moderation already.

So I believe we're mostly talking about a spectrum of what mechanisms there are and their consequences. Ie. is it OK for the entire planet to bully anyone in public until they lose everything? This is actually hard to prevent, if no mechanisms to do so are in place, while communication is as "free" as possible.
