No, I don't think any of that. My starting point would be:
(1) Someone has a long-established relationship with an internet service.
(2) That service makes an arbitrary and unexpected change to the nature of that relationship.
(3) That change causes material damage.
Then the site can be sued.
I don't think that would cover the current Trump business, they've been telegraphing for years that he would be banned eventually. But it might close the door to more damaging abuses of power where they strategic on timing and opens up some review of how clearly they are giving notice. Might help with the app store complaints.
That specific idea isn't going to be good - I've probably missed a bunch of relevant stuff - but maybe the idea can be salvaged and implemented with only mild damage to the internet ecosystem.

There isn't really a difference, but sure. I don't care if changes are implemented as an amendment or a new bill.
