Allowing something is part of the terms of service - an agreement between the user and the owner - and government power is and should be very narrow in dictating terms of service.Thanks.
With something like facebook, is it compelled speech in question or equal opportunity? Allowing something and promoting it aren't the same thing.
Equal opportunity based on what though? There is no principle I'm aware of that we owe people equal opportunity to spread their lies or hate by using or profiting from a service, and no principle that platform owners should be obligated to waive their discretion and their right to associate. Equal opportunity is enforced based on very narrow criteria like sex, age, race, etc.
