This article  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzqniEaXwQg&feature=youtu.be    
has the headline: "Congressional Democrats Threaten Big Tech To Censor 
Americans Or Else"


If this kind of government-threat can exist, then one solution is to declare 
that communications over the Internet within wires (and fibers) located within 
the United States are governed by the First Amendment of the US Constitution. 
Private companies are availing themselves of a system initiated by a relatively 
small amount of government research, and developed by other designers and 
manufacturers.

If 'private companies' wish to communicate over systems OTHER THAN the 
"internet", they are free to design that system, implement it, and the First 
Amendment WON'T apply to them.
I'm not sure that this would really qualify as a "libertarian solution", but it 
is dangerous that "government" is trying to extort organizations like Facebook 
and Twitter to engage in censorship. This possibility must cease.
