This right here, although minus the invectives, if it were me writing it.
The real problem are uneducated end users. They never read the user agreement, and do not understand the relationship between them and the service provider. They mistakenly thought "free speech" applied to the service. If they read the terms they agreed to, they'd know better.
The solution is simple: leave the service. Only use services that treat you fairly, with terms of service you agree to. If this actually was happening more, we'd have millions of users migrating from the bad services, to the better services.
Given enough time, and lack of user migration based on market pressures (aka, vote with your feet, leave) any service provider will become stagnant and draconian. End users can therefore never become complacent. Example: Parler looks good now, but may become draconian later. Google had a similar trajectory.
End users must be ready and willing to migrate to better services. If they are not, they signal to the market that the usual pressures no longer exist, and will therefore be taken advantage of.

laissez faire is not going to solve this problem. That is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever read. They are turning our norms against us.
How do you propose we solve the problem? By being lemmings, follow the herd? Hope Uncle Sam forces the meanies running the service to be nice to us?
Here's a norm: don't stay in abusive relationships. Find a better use of your time.
