The problem with suppressing speech in general is 'who decides?'
Yes corporations currently have a lot of power and it is difficult for the average person to filter. However the alternative is effectively censorship.
It's easy to say 'ban the fake news', 'ban the corporate money', but who decides what qualifies as fake news, or which companies / groups / associations / qualify as corporations? Whoever decides gains a huge amount of power.
There has got to be a better solution than censorship.
