We are mostly of the same opinion including on the need of something being done about it.
My only objections are:
1) freedom of speech has absolutely nothing to do with the government or its ability to curtail it.
It is a natural right, one that everybody is born with and one that cannot be given, only taken away.
2) social media sites are private property of their owners and, as such, they can impose any limit they want within its (virtual) premises.
The solution to the problem is not regulating it (that in my opinion would increase the ability to curtail the freedom of speech) but to revert to the descentralized web of links that used to define the World Wide Web.
People can self publish and should do it, be it video, audio or text.
People should also, if they want to compete, to invest as much resources trying to be heard as these companies invest trying to be gatekeepers.
We agree in general, just not on these small points.
