Not sure how that would help at all. Doing that makes those companies responsible for what's said on their platforms, so they would be much more likely to self-censor than with those protections in place. A person like Donald Trump would have been long gone before now if Twitter wasn't protected from litigation from things he said. So I don't see that quelling any cries of censorship. 

And I'm not arguing against such action, those companies need to be responsible for what's posted on their platform. But it's not going to end this argument. In fact, it could amplify it. More inane phases like "cancel culture" being bandied about, to be sure.
