Possible long-term solutions to the blocking of the free exercise of personal liberty by private companies or making such exercise too costly for many people (section 230 reform is only a partial "solution" that might not even be necessary or beneficial):
End freedom of association for large corporations. The exact threshold for "large" can be debated, but let's put it at a 1 billion dollar valuation or higher. What this means is that if you're a large corporation, you can only refuse service to prospective clients if they are breaking the law, intend to break the law, or you lack the staff, materials, capital, infrastructure, etc. to serve the client.
It seems logical to expand this to smaller companies that are monopolies in their industry, locality, etc., but that would be best legislated at the state or local level due to wide variations in population density, geography, transportation infrastructure, etc.
Create government-run counterparts to every sort of private business in every industry a person might ever need, and obligate them to serve everyone they legally can. This would preserve freedom of association for remaining private companies while ensuring the costs for exercising one's rights remains manageable. However, this would require a lot of taxpayer money to set up or buy out existing private companies, and some degree of trust that the government wouldn't screw it up.
