Me too, I prefer antitrust for abusive network monopolies, and platform laws (like we have for the phone companies) to protect civil liberties. Leave everything else alone, or else the commies will be suing everyone.
Liability law is already one of their most potent weapons for justifying corporate censorship and control. (Peter Huber's book Liability is old but based.)
End-user education. Read the fine print before agreeing.
If the user agreement states that the service can censor, or otherwise abuse you, don't use that service.
Free speech does not apply to the services in question. Says so right in the user agreement. What you post to the service becomes theirs to do whatever they want with it.
If you agreed to those terms, do not act surprised when they manifested.
If you do not agree, do not use the service.
The future is decentralized platforms. They'll be run by their communities. The only rules will be what the communities decide to enact. Example: this very website. It has rules, even censorship, but they are rules the users agree with, or else those users can leave.
