There are lots of potential ways, especially when you own a large social media platform that doesnt have rational reasons for blocking certain political content over others that skew a particular way.

There are no laws on the books that force social media platforms to tolerate all political expression. While there are laws allowing then to be sued for violating civil rights, that's not the same thing. Selective bans on people of specific political background are still a common thing across the internet.

So until that's remedied we're trapped with billionaire cretins trying to swing politics with their huge platforms.
