Nah, this is what happens when we put corporations in charge of censorship.
I definitely support “good censorship” as you put it. I want child porn to be censored, for example. If it wasn’t illegal, there’d probably be big money to be made there, and there’d be some people and corporations that’d be more than happy to fill that market niche.
I think you might be misinterpreting “free speech”. Twitter can delete all of your tweets that say “Musk sucks”, and that is absolutely none of the government’s business. It’s not their job to try to convince Twitter otherwise. That’s not what free speech is about.
These big corporations always censor themselves so they can do business in countries with oppressive regimes. I don’t know how much difference it makes whether “we” tolerate censorship or not. They’ll do it anyway until there’s some disincentive for them to do it.

The government should have some role in censorship.

Lol why would the government prevent censorship?
The way to curb shitty speech is not with more speech. Just like the way to curb child porn is not more porn, child or otherwise.
