Could you describe what authority Joe Biden (or team Biden) had within the federal government in October 2020?

I'm not going to claim that it isn't an issue that VIPs have excessive influence on social media companies and there operations. People with lots of followers have certainly been able to pull strings to craft the message at twitter in the past. Joe Biden and his campaign team c. Oct 2020 are certainly to be counted in that number. Things like banning certain accounts ( https://www.wired.co.uk/article/elon-musk-parody-twitter-acc... ) or getting your account unblocked ( https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-45953747 ).

I am going to ask specifically how this is a first amendment issue when none of the people involved had any role within the government at the time this took place.
