Saw some UK media coverage of this story earlier but on google news front page did not see any headline. Media seems to batting for Biden camp on this.
In quick sampling of media headlines, there appears to be less than 1/10th coverage of this story than there was of recent scandals involving porn star Stormy Daniels for example that was splashed all over print/TV media for days or of Trump-Jeffrey Esptein and Trump-Ghislaine Maxwell photos coverage in MSM.

I just don't see the whole Biden corruption thing becoming a big story. Average voters don't care. I think he is probably guilty of it though.

Bad analogy. Both the telephone system and internet email are point to point. You don't expect people to get your message other than who you are directing it to. So nobody mad at the telephone company if, for example, a mafia don uses it to order a hit on someone. Nobody is mad at Hotmail or Google for emails sent from one terrorist cell to another. But there was a lot of talk from conservatives about how YouTube, Twitter and other big tech should take action to prevent the Islamic State from using their platforms for recruiting and spreading propaganda. I remember calling into to one conservative talk show host who kept talking about this and saying to him "But might these tech companies turn around and start banning conservatives?" This was before Alex Jones was de-platformed.
A better analogy would be the cable company. Are cable companies required to carry all channels? (Hint....they don't.) What about public access cable? It seems neutral enough. No overt political agenda. Do they have to take all content as long as the technical requirements are met? I honestly don't know the answer to that one.

It's not just the ToS, it's how they advertise themselves and the legal privileges they claim.
You can't be a publisher and a platform, yet they pretend to be both and Facebook has even had the gall to officially claim to be one and then the other in different court cases.

Whenever a campaign uses a word that is above the 5th grade reading level, you should immediately go look up the legal definition of the word as the groundwork is being laid to weasel out of something. The choice of "cursory" over "desultory" pretty much screams future weaseling.As Politico reports:
Biden’s campaign would not rule out the possibility that the former VP had some kind of informal interaction with Pozharskyi, which wouldn’t appear on Biden’s official schedule. But they said any encounter would have been cursory.

Good idea but wrong platform. Gab got kicked off the app stores. Mastedon is better because it's a protocol rather than a platform. That means Apple and Google would have to stop every app submitted that had Mastedon capability rather than targeting one app and blocking it. But yeah, if back in 2018 Trump left Twitter whatever platform he went to as an alternative would be instantly huge. Not just Trump's fans would follow him there, but so would many of his enemies. CNN may hate Trump but they would hate being the last to get his latest tirade because they weren't on the social media platform he was on.

No. But there is crossover. Trump's press secretary just got censored trying to release information that ultimately came from a hacked source. Yes she was quoting the NY Times so it's a stretch, but the original source of the information was a hack. The point is, as soon as you start doing community guidelines you open the door to censorship of some kind or another. And I see you totally ignored what I was saying about the phone company and email. Those are bad analogies because it is not expected for those companies to thwart their platforms from being used as crimes the way it is expected for social media platforms. The phony crime, that even republicans have played along with, is that Russian bots "hacked" the 2016 election by "spreading misinformation." (Those dirty Russians). So we have to "stop" misuse and abuse. When Zuckerberg was pulled before congress to "answer" for not stopping the spread of "misinformation" on his platform, how many people stood up in Congress and said "Hold on a second. This could backfire?"

We can find aspects of Facebook and Twitter in several past and current technologies. A bulletin board in a public square is similar, but they both have DM features too. They used to have party lines for telephones, long before any of our time though.
It is a new technology that has not been directly addressed by the law. It is not completely analogous to any one past communication method. It will take more than a tweak to an existing law to address it fairly and within the confines of the 1st Amendment.

Right. The whole "can they or can't they be sued" argument. Only....it's not as strong as you think. I've heard Tucker Carlson make that same argument. Then when he got sued for libel, he got out of the suit suing the "I'm not to be taken seriously as news" argument. Should Facebook as a "publisher" be able to be sued for what someone not employed by them posts? As @Brian4Liberty has pointed out, this place doesn't pretend to be neutral. But if someone posted something that turned out to be liable should RPF be open to a lawsuit just because the mods didn't happen to catch it?

True. And come to think of it, Facebook censors DMs. When I found out Dr. Fauci had Jesuit connections I started blasting it out through DMs and after a while Facebook but quit letting me message the link saying I had sent it to too many people in too short a time. But that's not happened to me before or since. Creepy.

We're being governed ruled by a geriatric Alzheimer patient/puppet whose strings are being pulled by an elitist oligarchy who believe they can manage the world... imagine the utter maniacal, sociopathic hubris!
Yep, pretty creepy. And we have all stood by and watched the DMs and emails be read by providers, and apparently in the case of Facebook, censored.
Imagine if this whole thing went backwards, and it becomes commonplace and legal for email and telephone companies to censor and ban?

Hunter Biden CENSORSHIP, & Clarence Thomas on 230 Immunity - Viva Frei Vlawg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1OhE4w0TAU
Exactly my view, the underlying problem is fraud.
Take twitter for example, see their "about" page:
https://about.twitter.com/
False and/or misleading claims:
- Twitter is what’s happening in the world and what people are talking about right now.
- When it happens it happens on Twitter.
- See what people are talking about.
- Spark a global conversation.
All claims attempt to establish themselves as a neutral platform, but they aren't, which is fraud. Their open bans on potential corruption research / awareness is a clear example of the fraud:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackbre.../#67b969a272e6
How Twitter's claims should read....
- Twitter is what’s happening in the world and what people are talking about right now, unless we decided to block it.
- When it happens it happens on Twitter, unless we banned it for our own personal reasons.
- See what people are talking about, except for those pushing content we don't like.
- Spark a global conversation, as long as we approve of the message.
Not quite as catchy...
