This is so very needed. As Justice Clarence Thomas articulated, big tech companies should be treated as common carriers (https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/04/clarence-thomas-is-ri...). They are the new public square and there are many ways in which they can be legally compelled, as a UCLA Professor recently pointed out (https://reason.com/volokh/2021/07/09/the-first-amendment-and...). Political viewpoints should constitute a protected class that is protected under discrimination laws.
