Let government get away with blocking “covid misinformation” and it will never hesitate to block any opinions contrary to the Party line.

I couldn't agree more. Refute false or misleading information, sure. But informational censorship by the government OR what has clearly become little more than state media, the MSM, and silicone valley is utterly unacceptable in this country. This creeping stifling of public discourse began in earnest after the 2016 election and has gone nuclear with COVID and the insurrection BS. Enough!

Try the words
Censorship
Prior Restraint
and
First Amendment Violation.

There is a court case, IIRC Supreme Court level, so binding precedent upon all Federal districts, that the US govt. may not use private companies to do things which are Unconstitutional for the govt. itself to do.

I misplaced my link; someone will likely remember it for me.
