The first amendment of the US constitutions says that it's illegal for the government to make a law which abridges people's freedom of speech. There are many cases of government entities working with social media companies to suppress speech as the Twitter Files have proved. As the government created and upholds those federal entities on the basis of laws, the government is responsible.

- mikeyouse 2y agoIf you’ll humor me - what specifically did the Twitter files show in that regard?
- cryptica 2y agoThe part where Elon's mum said she was shocked by the contents of the Twitter files and that's why she stopped being a democrat. That's all the info I needed. Haha. How leftist/neoliberal of me to outsource my opinion! Well, in my defence, Elon's mum is more trustworthy than CNN. She hasn't lied yet. Unlike your typical leftist, I actually keep score of such things.
