Meanwhile lawmakers are focusing on regulating Twitter to give everyone the right to post their sentence amongst the ads.

They're targeting the wrong layer. Regulate ISPs, and maybe big hosting companies like AWS and Cloudflare.

The “big hosting companies” are only a tiny slice of how people run servers.

There is no “monopoly” on running servers and connecting them to the internet.

That's why I said "maybe", but you make a good point.

Although at present, what you say isn't completely true, because ISPs are not common carriers. Fixing this should be first priority.

You realize the same politicians who are complaining about censorship from the social networks fought tooth and nail against net neutrality?

While net neutrality is not strictly the same thing, you can easily imagine where ISPs are forced to act as common carriers, but are not forced to prioritize it.
