"When a partnership is formed, and collaboration & cooperation exists. An argument can be made they are participating in the capacity of a state actor."
Not according to multiple court rulings, thus my interpretation that law would need to change since the argument has been made, and has always lost.
Case No. 4:21-cv-00548-YGR Rutenburg v. Twitter, Inc. rules against social media companies being "State Actors"
The Supreme Court decision in Packingham v. North Carolina creates precedent, but not in the direction you want.
Loomers list of losing cases includes calling Twitter a "State Actor" and lost, twice.
Multiple cases exist all, so far, with the same outcome: Social Media companies aren't State Actors.
So far the argument has been made, but it's a losing one. Maybe someone will figure it out and Social Media companies will someday be forced to let everyone use their platforms. So Obama and Hillary and Biden and Trump and Alex Jones can all go sit on Lindell's FS platform tossing pointless remarks at one another.
On the other end the ruling in Halleck v. Manhattan Community Access Corp. this would mean anyone could have access to all websites, including this one. Restricting access would be illegal.
