"Nothing you just said bears resemblance to the FCC-directed censorship we just saw today. Cite some sources if you think otherwise."
So if the government puts pressure on private individuals to censor, it's okay? The government put pressure on Apple, Google, and Amazon to ban Parler when it was thought that it was thought it was being used to plan J6 (oopsie, it ended up being Facebook, but that didn't matter because right-wing bad).
There's no difference between the government putting pressure on private companies to censor and the government censoring themselves.
I also would like to add that this is public airwaves. The government has always controlled public airwaves. You can still say all the sick shit you want on Podcasts, Youtube, and any other private platform and it won't be controlled by the government.
