The funny thing about our era is that there is no censorship on corporations, but the state is very active in censoring individuals. Sometimes I feel that legal action is needed against the UX dark patterns of these corporations

Sure there's censorship on corporations. Look at how PayPal and other payment processors have been treating Steam lately. And any other platform that promotes individual freedom. Corporations are no longer immune as long as they don't support the ideology.
I think they meant state sponsored censorship. Which definitely does exist, but it seems companies are quite creative in circumnavigating a lot of it.
Just a couple of days ago a German newspaper subscription seller successfully sued Google's Gemini for slander.
