I'll reiterate again - these platforms did not have to buckle to the government. They just made a business decision to do so. Blame the Biden Admin, okay. But blame Twitter and facebook et al more..

I’ll reiterate that they were threatened and it was all done in secret. We would still know nothing about if not for the lawsuits that compelled discovery and Elon Musk opening up the Twitter Files.
I don’t understand why you downplay the enormity of the threat of censorship apparatus.
Please watch Freddy Sayers on what was done to Unheard in the sneakiest of fashions. Watch Mike Benz.
This was not a simple” business decision”
We have a Supreme Court justice Jackson who openly said that the First Amendment “ hamstrings h government”!
That is precisely why the Framers in their wisdom gave us that Amendment. It is to protect us from the government.
I respect your position. And the government indeed is in the censorship business. But I'll maintain that these media outlets/platforms/forums had no legal requirement to comply. They enjoy First Amendment rights as well. They could have fought it but decided for their own reasons not to. I guess we'll just agree to disagree..
