> Tech and social media companies are algorithmically dictating what you see and hiding behind the fact that it’s not “their content.” Why is this considered different from a news site which exclusively hosts opinion pieces from independent journalists?

Social media companies don’t let anyone post about anything they want, either. They’ll ban you for not following their rules.
