Like, maybe not because of censorship per se, but maybe for abusing their power as an oligopoly or going against the desire of their users?

If something is already a monopoly/duopoly, that means it's managed to manipulate the government/legal system. Even in capitalist legal systems there are "supposed" to be regulations against that. So if they're circumventing them and/or the government never enforced them to begin with, they're not playing by the rules in the first place and there is very little you can do within the system to stop it.
