A "public square" online designation would effectively be the nationalization of whatever service gets that designation.
I, for one, don't think the US government should be in charge of Twitter.
Taking private companies and forcing them to say certain things is not how I'd like this country to evolve, and as long as the 1st Amendment exists, is not how it will evolve. "Public Square" designations for private companies cannot exist alongside the 1st Amendment, period.

OK, and then what happens when a cartel of the big companies decide what and who can publish stuff?

I agree, but my solution was self_hosted at home, not on big tecks slippery back. But I guess the same could be said by your ISP.
Although with the increasing use of private gaming servers and streaming, ISP’s are starting to acommadate the gen_pop with decent upload bandwith finally.
Who know, it wont be long untill ISP’s start filtering content on a massive scale.
What we really need is a legal designation of a "public square" online that protects free speech online
