So all this was caused... because people were able to port their phone numbers easily?

That was the example that was brought up.

Yes, some government regulations are bad. But some are good.

And this example of being able to port your phone number... seems to be a pretty simple, uncontroversial, and good feature, that could possibly be applied to social media companies as well.

No, it can’t because social media isn’t based on phone numbers, and social networks aren’t telephone networks, and each one works differently.
