Seems clear based on this self-serving account, in which he paints himself as a harmless engineer whose company's only fault was accepting advertising? I don't think that's clear at all. The government has extraordinary powers of persuasion, and whether they are "right or wrong on the facts" is the entirety of whether they're justified in exercising those powers.
