This is the smoking gun of actual free speech violation rather than the US government banning a particular platform wholesale.

To be a first amendment violation this would technically have to involve the US government working to censor American's speech over Palestine. Functionally, though, this is a government censoring specific speech and feels very much like a free speech issue.

Free speech is a broader concept than just the first amendment, or any one specific legal code.
