Holding them accountable by giving them more power sounds like a losing strategy. Because that is exactly what the "pressure on big tech" has done in favor of classical publishers that thank them by favoring their censorious actions in articles.

They already have all the power you can think of when it comes to the content on their platforms. They just use it differently now.

There was an understanding that they don't remove content they disagree with and would get criticism in return if they do. Now people want them to do exactly that. That is far worse in my opinion, especially for those without power.
