I disagree with more regulation being a solution. Big Tech should have the same regulations as other companies (no special deals!) and the US Government should not be allowed to interfere in free speech on any platform. Most important, people should:
1. Educate themselves by talking directly with candidates when possible.
2. Listen to first-hand one-on-one interviews with candidates.
3. Stop using the Internet to tell them how to think. Expect lies from all sides.
4. Engage in critical thinking. Ask questions! Insist on thorough answers.
5. Talk with other humans. Be engaged in politics at the grass-roots level with humans, not computers.
6. Get people registered to vote and them get them to vote -- intelligently -- after doing 1-5 above.
7. Watch the voting systems. Be poll workers. Don't sit back. Don't be lazy.
No amount of regulation will work, because companies will find workarounds.
