I understand people are upset & worried about crazy insurrectionists right now, but I'll keep repeating that you will absolutely regret passing laws that say "social media cannot allow or amplify" such speech. Because such a law WILL be applied to BLM protesters too...

Yeah and its been used in a lot of ways that make people uncomfortable and we wrestle with it. And we have 0 laws about social media companies and what they can or can't moderate.

Hes not making a slippery slope argument, he's making the argument that the exact laws you are arguing for will be used to suppress the most critical speech, not the worst speech.

Just because it could apply to all regulations doesn’t mean it’s not a strong argument. It is, in fact, a strong argument to look critically how at all regulations should be carefully worded to limit bad applications, and to analyze the bad applications that can’t be worded out.
-
Every single regulation can and should be analyzed that way and every single analysis can be a strong argument against that regulation if there’s no way to pass it in such a way that the harms will or might outweigh the good.

It’s probably why the slippery slope is a logical fallacy, after all!
