The “battlefield of ideas” is a minefield where the mines only go off when conservatives step on them.

So change the battlefield.

It isn't the government that set it up that way, it's the culture.

Turning to the government to fix it is a fools errand.

If it's OK for "free market" entities like Amazon, Google, etc. to lobby government for special favors and protections then why can't citizens do likewise?

Yes we will often fail as citizens are not united and don't have the political or financial wherewithal to combat the lobbying efforts of megacorps. However, every once and a while there is a window of opportunity for us to get something for the average citizen. Being able to express conservative ideas on YouTube, Twitter, FaceBook, etc. without having to fear your account being suspended or being fired from your job would be a good win for the average citizen that any government worth its salt should be able to find a way to support and guarantee.
