Maybe read higher quality media, if you don't like the West go ahead and read media from here in Easter Europe. I am also checking BBC News and I am plesently surprised that they always mention things like "Ukrainians say" , "Russian diplomat says" , "we can't confirm" . This means that you will get the news with a delay on this website because they have actual employee that will connect with real people in all camps and ask fora response, they also have articles debunking fake news from Russia etc.
I am in EU and I have access to TASS https://tass.com https://tass.com so at least in my country I can get free access directly to Russian main media, I can also see the Russian trolls version of facts on social media and Russia has a group of fans that promote their alternate reality so we are not in "danger" of not knowing what Putin wants us to know.
TL:DR
- we don't have absolute free speech in EU, most constitutions have limits and consequences for bad behavior (we are not USA)
- there is high quality western media(stop reading tabloids)
- if you hate the waste read Easter European media, Ukrainian neighbors have journalists on the ground and they are also more familiar with the history of the region and remember media past Russian/Putin actions
- only a few propaganda media channels might be blocked, there are plenty Russian media channels available, so only "concerned trolls" will raise the issue that we the poor EU guys can't read Putin approved facts.
