>Anyway we live in a free country and the government can't dictate what kind of news a social media site should surface.

The US government is doing that?
Why else did we have Zuckerberg waste all of his time talking to those know-nothing congress people?
Yes, by failing to act against the block of monopolies that entirely control social media, search, etc.

So long as the government fails to act, they're supporting the monopolies in question. So long as those monopolies exist, what they're doing is called censorship. As monopolies they have the direct sanction of the state.

Bring on the trust-busting.
