Yes, by failing to act against the block of monopolies that entirely control social media, search, etc.

So long as the government fails to act, they're supporting the monopolies in question. So long as those monopolies exist, what they're doing is called censorship. As monopolies they have the direct sanction of the state.

Bring on the trust-busting.
