While you are correct about this from a legal perspective, given the massive reach and size of Facebook and Twitter, it is still a morally corrupted dick move for FB & Twitter to censor all news regarding the Hunter Biden laptop and associated allegations at the time when it first came out. By the same token, the press has no legal responsibility to report on any particular issue either. But it is also just as much of a morally corrupted dick move for none of the major news sources (except for NY Post and Fox) to report on Hunter Biden.
For all the social responsibilities (and professional ethics in the media's case) that these old and new media claim to have, they have failed to live up to these responsibilities, and that is a far bigger problem than having a garbage government.
At a minimum, you need to recognize that this is a problem. If you refuse to acknowledge it is a problem, then it means you have allowed your hatred / dislike / whatever of Trump to blind you to it and cloud your judgement. If you say that media ethics and responsibility is less important than who gets to serve as president, I would be disappointed with that view because I agree with POTUS #3 (Thomas Jefferson)'s belief that “newspapers without government” is vastly better than “government without newspapers”.
In my case, I see how Trump is a lot of bad news. I am not denying that. But in the face of and the severity of the Communist China problem, I would still prefer Trump because Trump is the lesser of the two evils (between Trump and Communist China).
