Sure - but we’re not in that policy place with regards to social media, and they will fight any attempt to exert that kind of requirement.

Agreed — I'm not trying to say I know the answers. However, I do believe there's a role that social media companies have played in this polarization that needs to be addressed. Tristan Harris (of The Social Dilemma fame) makes very good points in this regard. Many of the political problems we have are thanks to to a distorted landscape of information distribution centered around advertising and platform addictiveness.
Maybe we need a "C-SPAN/NPR of social media".
