  Government officials are elected to serve as "spokespersons" for citizens.

    > the judge ordered a slew of federal agencies and more than a dozen top officials not to communicate with social media companies about taking down “content containing protected free speech” that’s posted on the platforms. Just going off the article it’s talking about preventing unelected officials from limiting the free speech of citizens via back channel communication with social media companies. Elected officials representing their constituents has nothing to do with this.

      The ruling proactively limits elected officials ability to speak --- based on the *presumption* that their speech is somehow "bad" --- apparently because they belong to the wrong political party. This violates all sorts of legal precedent and will likely be overturned. Even Republicans would vehemently object to having similar applied to them so why bother promoting this sort of partisan gamesmanship? Is this what they call "leadership"?
