Government tries to counter terrorist recruitment? Sure.
I'd be fine with any steps they took to counter foreign attempts, here or in the foreign country, but in this case it looks like it was exclusively offshore.
Do you think the State Department shouldn't try to do that?
Do *NOT* substitute your words for mine. The government commits *CENSORSHIP*. I am not interested in whatever it was they were censoring or why. People will always dream up what they consider to be sufficient grounds to censor someone *IF* they have the power to do it.

The topic is not about "foreign attempts."
The Topic is about the US government censoring public speech through the proxy of "private" corporations whom you claim have the right to censor speech.
We now have proof that the Government uses these companies as a "front" for their own government censorship, and as many times as you have harped on it, I do not believe you now think the Government should be allowed to censor people.
Or do you? Have you gone that extra step now?

I do not think any government agency should be using private corporations to illegal censor American speech regardless of what the speech is about.
