    I really just can't get behind the government enforcing editorial control over private communications services.

    Consider it a tax. Your platform (facebook, twitter, etc) may adopt any position you like, and promote any position you like, as much as you like. However, in exchange for your sweet monopolistic franchise, you have to put forth opposing opinions.
