There could be a good argument made that certain mega platforms on the internet with a billion users like Facebook, Google, Youtube, Twitter etc should be considered infrastructure parts of the internet. They should provide unbiased content from the world's population. They aren't content creators, they are avenues for content to be distributed to society.
I think the word you're looking for is publisher. Which these companies technically are not. Though they are acting like it when they censor content, especially with clear bias, and without detail.

They know if they provide clear detail it would prove their bias and open a can of worms, since they're not censoring similarly offending content from other channels/sites.
So the question is, are they publishers? Or platforms? they have to be one or the other. There are different laws and regulations for each.
