    >The government coerced Twitter to delete posts. That's not nothing. >5th circuit court of appeals just had a ruling that this indeed violated the first amendment. "A group of social-media users and two states allege that numerous federal officials coerced social-media platforms into censoring certain social- media content, in violation of the First Amendment. We agree, but only as to some of those officials." That's on the first page for reference. Edit: Site says I'm posting too fast, but the provision 6 is a very important provision (pp 69) and the remaining defendants are quite a long list. It seems the plaintiffs named everybody they could think of and the judge whittled it down to the ones that are actually violating provision 6 (pp 72-73) and are still under injunction. If that is correct, this is certainly not a "nothing burger" as many in the media are reporting and the government was actively violating the first amendment. Defendants who violated provision 6 and are still under injunction include members of the White House, the FBI, the CDC, the Surgeon General, and others.

      Keep reading and you’ll read what I was summarizing - section VII on page 74 has the gist.
