Yeah, re-read the entirety of your first link. Filled with content like this: > A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit unanimously agreed that the White House, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the FBI had "coerced" or "significantly encouraged" the platforms, "in violation of the First Amendment," to suppress speech that federal officials viewed as dangerously inaccurate or misleading. > They argued that the Biden administration's public and private pressure on platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube amounted to government-directed censorship. The 5th Circuit essentially agreed, endorsing much of Doughty's analysis. According to the appeals court, the administration's persistent demands that Facebook et al. do more to control "misinformation"—which were coupled with implicit threats of punishment through heavier regulation, antitrust action, and increased civil liability for user-posted content—crossed the line between permissible government speech and impermissible intrusion on private decisions. So yeah, please step outside your bubble. Also, just to re-iterate one more thing, the Biden approach was entirely private. No one knew it was happening. The Trump admin doing this in the public, is most likely just going to get FCC chair burned a lot harder than ABC in the end here. No the Biden admin actually caused years of harm and hid a lot of information from the public. |
