MSG Stan Hutchison It'll be something along the lines of, "But the social media wasn't fair to conservatives and so they were influencing the election, and therefore it's ok to regulate."

No chance in hell. Hate speech was allowed by SOTUS and I do not see this as being any different.

I haven't read the proposed EO so I don't know the specifics. However, I will say in my opinion ANY attempt to stifle free speech should be vigorously opposed. Party affiliation is irrelevant.
I may not like the policies of social media platforms but it is their property and they can organize, operate, regulate, etc however they see fit so long as it doesn't violate Constitutional law (I'm mainly thinking civil liberties, discrimination based on sex, ethnicity, etc here). It is my right if I don't like the options available to create my own platform and operate it however I deem appropriate. This is the basic tenet of a free society.
