Is that a meaningful distinction? If they had offered instead to show strong favoritism to Disney for suspending Jimmy Kimmel would that have made it okay? I think it's wrong for the federal government to pressure Disney in this way re

The federal government was literally pressuring YouTube to remove certain COVID content that did not violate its policies. It's said explicitly in the story. What I'm trying to get at is it's possible to stifle people's
