The EU as well as nation states have laws to uphold and policy/social objectives that might require that. The way to change that is to change laws, customs, and objectives. You are welcome to push down that route, of course.

Of course not, precisely because public speech including on media such as twitter is heavily censored.

The trick is gross but effective: treat ideas threatening to the system as illegal so they can be fought using the legal system instead of the political one. It's a power grab to silence Europeans. Same old trick used in China, Iran, any autocracy really.

There is nothing heavily censored. You have new parties rising up, for example, nothing stopping that.
