This is an argument for a publicly-funded “digital public square”, not an argument for stripping private companies of their rights.

Why not both?

While I agree that punishing companies for success isn't a good idea, we aren't talking about small startups or local business ran by individual entrepreneurs or members of the community here. We're talking about absurdly huge corporations with reach and influence the likes that few businesses ever reach. I don't think it's unreasonable to apply a different set of rules to them, as they are distinctly different situations.

I fully agree. Small groups have limited resources. But google and facebook have a ton of resources, they can handle more oversight.
