The problem is not free speech, the problem is anyone can have millions of people notified about what they say. If you limit followers to 50k or don't allow a message to have a reach of more than 50k, then you will solve part of the problem without touching free speech!

Then the celebrities will all go to platforms that don’t restrict them in that way, and their fans will follow them. If my kids see a meme and they can’t share it with their friends due to a limit, again try will just go to a service without such a limit.
