How is censorship the answer? People want to consume all types of content on social as much as possible. The answer is making all the data public and open sourcing the feed algo + allowing users to pick their preferred algo. That way, if your feed is not to your liking, pick a better one.

Pushing one type of information relative to others is also censorship. Few people will change their feed algorithm without some kind of ballot screen.

Then it's a UX problem. What if switching algo was like switching channels on your TV?
