I don’t have answers to these questions, but it does seem to me that the internet has a fundamental incompatibility between being a space that enables or encourages (relative) anonymity on social media platforms, and being a space that strives to accept all kinds of speech, regardless of the content.
As long as users are able to remain anonymous, content will continue to be pushed that drives some users towards adopting censorship. And as long as people feel their right to speech threatened, there will be a desire to remain anonymous.
I honestly don’t see a clean way out of that scenario, but that’s just my perception.
