A state funded platform with a focus on authenticity, transparency, validity and verifiability, is the best thing against censorship? I don’t get how.

Well, on a political level the EU is based on federalistic principles, meaning that many states have many opinions on censorship; and a compromise between those states' opinions is what's likely best for the citizens of said states/nations.
I mean, that is if we wouldn't have capitalism as the bug of democracy.
On a technological level a lot of things can be solved already through cryptographic means. Technically, it doesn't even need to be hosted anywhere if it's fully peer-to-peer without a gatekeeping server/backend in between.

L’etat c’est vous.
They are just gonna make fake accounts that look like yours and shitpost ahead anyways.
Social media has multiple problems, including authenticity, transparency, validity and verifiability. All of which don't exist and make it the optimum propaganda machine (referring to the criteria that Chomsky described) because it can be corrupted through multiple attack vectors.
If we want to survive this hellhole of misinformation, the mentioned criteria has to be implemented for the "next big platform" so that censorship and other legislative processes can be encountered with increased transparency and openness.
On a network/society scale it can't be driven by financial incentives to prevent corruption, ergo it must be financed by taxes. Preferably on an EU or UN legislative level to prevent political corruption of single state actors.
