There seems to be confusion on some of the basic issues in these cases. The issue is not simply whether government can dictate what content appears on Social Media. Rather in all of these cases, the issue is one of free speech. Due to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, these Social Media companies traded their editorial control over what appears on their sites for protection from libel laws. In this exchange, these websites became free speech platforms for all points of view whether the companies liked the views of what their subscribers posted or not as long as the posts were not obscene or threatening. In the case of Murthy v. Missouri, the Executive Branch of the Federal government was directly and indirectly pressing Social Media companies to limit free speech in order to suppress dissent on positions that the President and his Cabinet and Staff have taken on certain issues.
