Clearly this makes FB et al agents of the gubermint and an illegal end run around the 1st Amendment. Who has standing to sue? I’m picturing an 80 million member class action.

No no no no no! These are PRIVATE companies deciding to do this for themselves, and they are fully protected by the first amendment to censor all communications traffic that goes through their servers.

They are not at all puppets with a government hand shoved up their backsides!

I disagree that Big Tech is a tool of government. I think it's the other way around.

Corporate globalists (bankers, the elite, call them what you will) control the governments and NGOs. Politicians are mere puppets of the corporate elite.

Really, who has the power? Google, Facebook, Twitter appoint the politicians. They can rig their programs to swing elections. The politicians, including Biden and Harris, answer to their corporate masters. Not the other way around.

It's a perfect setup for the corporate elite. It's better to rule from behind the scenes than from the podium. When the people get mad, they get mad at the politicians. Then come next election, the corporate elite can replace the current politicians with a new set of politicians. Fresh faces promising "change," but same old policies.
