Lemme make this simple - Freedom of the press belongs to the person who owns the press. You don’t like what a particular press (the social media you reference above is the press in this case) does, start your own and you make the rules.
Restrictions of course apply. See Supreme Court rulings on what can be restricted, i.e. child porn, inciting to violence and a couple of others.
