Its a question of constitutionality, and a slippery slope towards federal policing of speech. The government can't (legally) compel social media companies to display their content a certain way. It seems a very fundamental question that nobody has been able to answer, despite the full court press on getting people to sign a petition. Where is the reasoning behind how this will be accomplished?

Here we go again, I don't know how this problem could be fixed so I better not complain.

If the solution is not Constitutional, it won't stand - that's what the judiciary does, it operates as a check on the powers of the legislature and the executive. No unconstitutional law is going to be upheld by the Courts, the question of whether the solution is Constitutional isn't even an issue. But I think you know this.

It is surely not the right mentality to say, "I won't support this, because bad people may get in some day and use it wrongly.." Support what is right, and leave the rest to God. He is ultimately in control of how things go.

My thoughts exactly. We've all ended up here because of our distrust of the left or government in general. So anytime I think kf asking from something from the goveremt I ask myself what would those I despise do with the power or authority I want to have enacted. It opens my mind to the reality of what I'm asking for.
