I don't need to.
Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech
The Constitution declares that Gov can't compel or restrict speech. Not even if that effort is labeled as 'adding checks'.
> I believe that we are losing ability to combat harm done by mega-corporations in general
Sure. This has always been the case. Monopolies, duopolies, anti-consumer collusion, etc is all anti-capitalistic. An historically effective measure against those types of anti-capitalistic corporate behavior is to break up those corps.
As far as the ongoing harm done to the public interest by major corps in general, that's mostly beyond what I'm looking to get into, ATM.
> Giving Govs unconstitutional power over everyone's speech
Could you elaborate on how would adding checks on social media platform operations would compromise everyone's speech? Looking at standards set by gun regulations, I can't agree about unconstitutionality either.
