The solution is probably not to require them to be paid but to make that a natural consequence.
For example,
1) disallow double-sided marketplace where primary users are monetised to a third party, or
2) require open API and interoperability, allowing users to switch providers easily, mobile phone style.
So now every social network charges $0.01 per month and makes all the rest of their revenue through advertising.
Would you set the minimum price for every service and outlaw advertising entirely?
