Government and big business are in this together. Business can do the dirty work govwrment can’t since government still has to give lipservice to the Bill of Rights.

This answer to the question in the headline is YES. Big business is now a bigger threat to free speech than the government. But big business and government working together it is even worse, threat which is what is happening with Demented Usurper President Biden and the Deep State and Big Government puppet masters behind him..

It is the government behind the scenes bribing and forcing corporations to do this. The corporations are a front that allows the leftists avoid the constitution.

In social media, you aren’t the customer. You are the product. They don’t “sell” your info. They use your info to influence you to make you hear what their actual customers want you to hear.

Yes. Big Business is the greatest threat to free speech.

It's big business hand in hand with government.

That's fascism, people.

The problem is that big businesses have their HQs located located in woke dominated cities. They live in that culture and try to impose it on the rest of America.

We need to support local Red State owned and controlled businesses if we want to free this country.

NO! Big business is bad enough, eff them all, but they can’t jail you, hold you incommunicado, torture YES torture you, execute you etc. At least not yet.

Businesses are allowed to block the First Amendment. It’s the government that allows them. The government is bound by the First Amendment. Businesses aren’t. Government blocks the First Amendment by proxy, in businesses. Plus it colludes with those businesses to make sure they understand that it is OK. (Remember the meeting of obammy and the heads of social media?)

It’s a Big Government-Big Business-Big Labor-Big Media complex.
