It's not victim blaming to recommend that people who know how ought to switch to more self-managed solutions, but I agree with you that doing so is not an option for the vast majority of people. I've always promoted the idea that anti-monopoly laws should be upgraded to be especially sensitive to network effects, now that so much of the economy is becoming networked. The bigger a tech company gets, the less power they should have to decide whose account gets suspended, what you can say, what videos you can show, etc.
"We're a private company" is no defense against traditional anti-monopoly enforcement. New powers that make Big Tech so big should be explicitly added to the dangers anti-monopoly regulation was created to defend against.
