It's a fine orthogonal discussion. There are several things worth considering in my mind:
* Perhaps these social media platforms are defectively designed
* Section 230 may need to be amended so that billion-dollar companies have more to hold them to account when things spread on their platforms
* CEOs could be criminally prosecuted when their companies lie (e.g., Facebook's ad revenue fraud in promoting FB video)
I think there are far better reasons to consider leaving social media than them suspending the personal account of a known provocateur who breaks rules all the time (her official government account is intact).
