There are also a lot of people who think the way media companies are acting (in terms of censoring/suppressing speech they don't agree with) is horrifying but are afraid to speak out against it because they fear the social or economic consequences of doing so.
Can you use your money as speech to short their stock? How else can you meaningfully joust with a multinational megacorp on an individual level? Why do you feel that it’s censorship or speech suppression as opposed to exercising their own right as a company to set and enforce their own Terms of Service? How would you change the current system? How would you enforce your changes? How would your changes apply to overse…

Because they are removing or not allowing speech that doesn't fit certain criteria. That is basically the definition of censorship or suppression. Of course, it's not illegal, but a definition of right and wrong based on legality is fairly impoverished in my opinion.
As for how I would change the current system, I'm not really sure. The problem could be solved by a change in culture, which I think is preferable to a legal solution, but the solution will have to be legal since I don't see our culture changing anytime soon. The most straightforward thing to do would be to treat sites like twitter/facebook as public spaces and so allow any sort of speech that isn't illegal.
