Not at all. They would simply have to ensure that every post they pull is treated fairly based on their code of conduct. They could miss some - no need to stipulate that they catch everything, or even anything, but much like copyright infringement, once reported every violator would have to be dealt with the same as those which had previously been removed or banned. This is already done for content that actually violates the law. They don't HAVE to find it but they do have to deal with it once reported.We're going back and forth on this, but I think we're in agreement that the law that stands lets the platforms do pretty much anything. But using a code of conduct as a basis for the good faith requirement wouldn't fix the essential problem: they would need either a perfect algorithm to find posts violating the code, or manually moderate every single post.
A reasonable and speedy appeals process, also completely transparent, could be used to provide a workable means to salve over once off "mistakes".
