Original Note:
This post falsely implies that the actions of private companies to moderate content on their own platforms somehow is a crime and/or violates the 1st Amendment. This is wrong. The 1A applies to GOVERNMENT actions, NOT the actions of private companies https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/the-first-amendment-where-it-is-3482126/#:~:text=The%20First%20Amendment%20only%20prohibits,the%20right%20to%20free%20speech.&text=The%20First%20Amendment%20does%20not%20prohibit%20private%20individuals,and%20employers%20from%20restricting%20speech.
