It is reasonably well established that the government can't ask others to do what it can't legally do.
The First Amendment says that the government can't tell the NYT not to publish stories about the price of tea in China.
How is that different from the First Amendment says that the government can't tell Facebook not to publish stories about the price of tea in China?
