There's an argument that huge social media sites that have wide-scale usage are like utilities. The water company isn't allowed to shut off your taps because you said something they don't like.

That's a very valid argument, but it's a bit of a tangent from censorship.

Let me make an analogy to Alex Jones and Trump: if the water company cuts someone off, but they continue to run a huge fountain in front of their mansion, then you can't reasonably claim they're being deprived of drinking water.
