With one broad stroke, North Carolina bars access to what for many are the principal sources for knowing current events, checking ads for employment, speaking and listening in the modern public square..."

That case was about the government restricting a private person's access to social media. The government can't do that because the government is subject to the 1st Amendment.

The government has no involvement in this James Woods saga.

I'm a fan of free speech and private property. I fully support both Elon's right to restore previously banned people and to stifle Kanye's speech on Twitter, as he just did.

It amazes me the number of people who fundamentally misunderstand what a constitutional right is - and isn't.

“The government has no involvement in this James Woods saga.”

Of course it does, that is established by the revelations of internal coordination between government actors and Twitter in the suppression of speech.
