It is true that every power-holding government will try to limit the discourse and suppress positions, harmful to this government. But in the EU and the 5-Eyes-countries it is not just censorship and dissent-suppression, it is based on lies. The State and the political elites use Orwellian language and invent hoaxes and fakes, to lure people into obedience and completely demonize those who disagree. It is much better to be honest and say "you challenge our power, we need to remove you" than to say "you are a terrorist, undemocratic, homophobe, antisemite, racist, Russian/Iranian/Hamas paid agent, etc"

Many states (all states) practice protecting their current status quo system over change as voiced by the people. The elite Epstein class are comfortable as things are (for them) not us citizens.

"We still use TikTok and Facebook freely, even if they employ fact-checkers and monitoring units."
Network effects, how do they work? If an alternative were available that people actually use, we'd use it.
