  Are you interested in refuting anything I said, or anything the articles I linked said? If I was wrong to assume that you mistook the Biden administration's voluntary persuasion for coercion, then I apologize. Regardless, I think it was misleading to simply relay the claim that the Biden administration "pressured Meta to censor COVID-19 content", especially given the benefit of hindsight from the Murthy v. Missouri Supreme Court ruling [1]. [1] https://electionlawblog.org/?p=144036 https://electionlawblog.org/?p=144036
