Should Social media like Twitter & Facebook be allowed to censor news and suspend accounts for posting it?

Section 230 is allowing these sites to police themselves and abuse the freedom to determine what is newsworthy of bunk.  Forums such as; Twitter & Facebook etc have been censoring using Section 230 to omit any postings for example: Hunter & Joe Biden Ukraine scandal, as well as cancelling anyone's account that dares to post it.  After the years of allowing blatant fake news on stories such as; Russia/Trump collusion suddenly decides that a story that makes Biden look bad is what is not allowed.  Hypocrisy anyone? Should there be an objective moderator not paid for by any biased group or should we just rescind or overhaul Sec. 230?   

Update:

meant...newsworthy or bunk

    They can and should label false information during a ongoing pandemic or an election.  We expect the same restraints from the news media right?

    Donald Trump is accused (in court) of raping a girl when she was 13, but since there was not enough evidence to support the allegations, most news outlets ignored it as a rumor.
