Excellent point. We need to generalize the principles the founding fathers perfected for soapboxes so that they apply across the board to modern social media. In the modern world, free speech isn't just about me saying whatever I want out loud to myself, or posting it on some obscure forum nobody visits. It's about knowing that when I say something, it will actually appear in the timelines of people following me and that it will be fairly reflected in trending statistics if it warrants it. It's about having a fair marketplace of ideas on ALL platforms so that evil assholes can't brainwash the population so easily. This is an urgent requirement because past brainwashing already has a quarter of polled American voters leaning socialist.
