Where do we draw the line on Infrastructure regulation?

The network, the platform-provider, the platform?

There is precedent for regulating the network. And Parler can run it's own server . I think there is enough competition in the platform space to allow platforms to regulate themselves.

AWS is not infrastructure. It is a service for which there is competition, as well as the option of rolling your own. Telcoms are infrastructure because generally there is not competition and you can't just run your own fiber.
