> I don't know what the answer is. Well, one obvious option would be the government making its own competitors to Twitter/Youtube/et al. Yes yes, I realize there's a bunch of issues there, like how the government would REALLY have to permit virtually any kind of speech, or general technical incompetence from government agencies in running such a site. But it could be done, there's nothing actually stopping it. I actually think a government-run Twitter could work okay and be accepted by people IF they didn't do any kind of algorithmic recommendations, sorting, or even have a search function at all. You could see tweets/content that you got to via external link, you could go onto that person's page to see a chronological list of things they've said, they could have a manually created profile page that links to others, but no curation of any kind by the platform itself. The home page would be mostly blank, or maybe only have a list of official government accounts or something.
