I think in the near future, the conversation/debate will be focused on "should 1st amendment rights be forced upon private corporations/platforms".
Conservative Republicans will almost unanimously vote to push for it as they are the side that gets censored more. Democrats will have the ironic stance and say "let business be sovereign of their own product".
As a Libertarian, I try not to pick and choose when I want to use a particular argument. Generally, I feel private business owners should run their business as they see fit, with minimal interference from the government. So even though I wish corporations choose to not censor a particular ideology, I am hesitant to agree that government should get involved. More often than not, bad things happen when the government gets involved.

I can be wrong 
I have not witnessed such censorship by the US government. I have witnessed "censorship" by various corporate entities, some right-aligned and some left-aligned, but a business can choose its own content. It's not censorship, it's just the corporation making decisions about what to allow and what not to allow. Censorship is when a government agency disallows a certain point of view. If you have some evidence of that happening in the US, bring it forward. Otherwise, you're crying wolf.
You may not, but millions of Christians do this All. The. Time. And you're lying if you claim you don't know that.
This is not true. There are plenty of right-leaning social media out there. There are also plenty of neutral social media.

I actually generally agree with this.
While I normally side with the liberals on some issues, including gay rights, when it comes to businesses, this is one place where liberals and I part ways.
I am a tax preparer, and own my own business. If I wanted to say that I refuse to do taxes for, say, gay couples, or Republicans, or Democrats, or white people, or whatever demographic, I should have the right to make that decision. It would be a STUPID decision to make. Why would I want to deny business? I want to serve as many people as possible. I don't care what your story is. Unless you're asking me to commit tax fraud, I want your business.

Excerpts from
What Trump faces on Jan. 20, 2021
As soon as he becomes a private citizen, Trump will be stripped of the legal armor that has protected him from pending cases both civil and criminal.
On Jan. 20, 2021, around noon, Joe Biden will take the oath of office as president and Donald Trump will lose both his job and one of its most important perks.
Trump has faced investigations involving his campaign, his business and his personal behavior since he took the oath of office himself four years ago. As soon as he becomes a private citizen, however, he will be stripped of the legal armor that has protected him from a host of pending court cases both civil and criminal.
He will no longer be able to argue in court that his position as the nation's chief executive makes him immune to prosecution or protects him from turning over documents and other evidence. He will also lose the help of the Justice Department in making those arguments.
The Manhattan district attorney's case
Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to campaign finance violations for paying adult film star Stormy Daniels to keep silent about an affair she alleges she had with Trump. The indictment alleged that Cohen had paid Daniels $130,000 before the 2016 election for the benefit of "Individual-1," an unindicted co-conspirator described as an "ultimately successful candidate for president." But federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York didn't seek charges against Trump, who would have been immune from prosecution regardless while he was president.
Two prosecutors in New York seem to have picked up where federal prosecutors left off in examining Trump's finances.
Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance is looking into a variety of allegations of financial improprieties. Court documents show that Vance is investigating "possibly extensive and protracted criminal conduct at the Trump Organization," Trump's family business, which could include falsifying business records, insurance fraud and tax fraud.
While the campaign finance violation of Individual-1 isn't a federal case, New York state law says falsifying business records in furtherance of an illegal act is a felony. Cohen has also alleged that Trump effectively uses two sets of numbers in his business, one with higher values to secure loans and a second with lower values to minimize taxes, according to his congressional testimony and published interviews. While Trump has declined to release his tax returns, saying he is under audit, The New York Times obtained many years of his tax records and determined that he had paid no federal income tax for 10 of the years and $750 in each of two other years.

They wrote a news article about nothing but pure speculation. It's meant to keep you hungry in anticipation for more. The American public are blood thirsty to see their political enemies crucified. Kind of like when people used to chant "lock her up!" and literally nothing happened to her. These people aren't going to pay for their real or perceived crimes.
Pay attention, as soon as a story runs out of steam they quickly change narratives and use a lot of loaded language to sensationalize nothing. Again, a lot of noise and no action.
Out of all of the "scandals" from the past four years they all flopped. Everything from corruption in the DNC, to leaked memos, leaked audio, Russiagate, Kavanaugh hearings, etc. It's all political theater. You all are taking this wayyyyyy too seriously.
