A corp establishing a effective monopoly on a share of everyday life should be held to the same scrutiny as a government. Especially if it intermingles with it. edit: word

How does it intermingle?

I'm sorry, but social media and even internet access are not rights nor are they provided to you by the government.

The reason you can say whatever you want on the internet is tolerance. Not because its an inalienable right.

A corporation should be held accountable similar to the federal government? That is a nonsensical sentiment. How would that even be enforced? Corporations are accountable to shareholders, not the citizens of any nation.

Please think critically for a moment about what you're suggesting, keeping in mind you clearly are only suggesting this for one specific company, out of all social media companies. it's blatantly out of spite.
