Why not? I believe it should, given its size. The phone company has an obligation to carry my speech. Net Neutrality would require ISPs to carry speech. There are a whole host of things the government can compel "privately owned" systems/companies to do.
In these kinds of discussions, scale matters. There is a big difference between compelling a company with a billion+ users to act as a platform and forcing a small business to do the same.
