For 'normal' companies this definitely would be absurd, but I think a good amount of these incredibly large companies should essentially be regulated as a public utility.

For 'published' speech that is, essentially like libel. I know that censorship laws can be dangerous, but it realistically just strikes me as the lesser evil. You evidently can't just let that stuff openly fester, but I simply can't imagine a situation where the government would suppress 'good' speech but a company with equal power wouldn't.
