Someone who can show specific harm. Like, during COVID, the government was saying to do X. There were social media posts saying "X could harm you". The government asked the social media companies to suppress those posts. You did X and suffered harm. You have standing.

Somebody who can show that they were banned or censored specifically because of government pressure on social media companies.

Being reprimanded by the social media companies before you alleged the government started pressuring them to reprimand people like you rather weakens your case a whole lot, it turns out.
