There need to be legally mandated protections so things like this never happen again.

Such protection for websites would be an implicit protection for Meta's de facto monopoly on text-based social media. What needs to happen is for these sorts of bans to still happen, but for the public to understand the impact of those bans and move away from a single website for all their social media needs if they want to see posts from everyone.

Competition in the space would fix the problem. It'd mean the impact of a ban is massively diminished, and that companies are incentivized not to issue unwarranted bans because their users would go somewhere else.

While both users and advertisers have no real choice where to go Meta will hold on to their monopoly.
