That's not strictly a platform problem. US Federal Government (intelligence agencies) were conducting aggressive information operations (i.e. narrative control) and has effectively infinite taxpayer money to bully / sue / harass / force any noncompliant corporation to play ball. Corporations, being naturally focused on profit-seeking, tend to fear loss of revenue more than they love civil liberties, freedom of information, freedom from censorship, etc.

It's a match made in hell. The only real way to beat these is to stick to information sources that are small enough to not be a target. Or to just accept that much of what you see, hear, read, and think has been deliberately curated by a government that is aggressively hostile against your ability to access narratives and information they either disagree with or simply dislike.

Some might see a government scrubbing "malinformation", but the Chinese government would call photographs of Tienanmen Square "malinformation" even though they were real, important, and culturally relevant - they just stood in opposition to the Chinese government's efforts to quell any hint of opposition. Narrative control by silencing people who see things differently.

What the US government did here was no different.
