Original Note:
There is little/no evidence that "shadow banning" is real on these platforms. https://apnews.com/article/north-america-technology-business-ap-explains-donald-trump-8ee05a6abfe54131874428b0671b1e15 Social media companies are private companies and have every right to ban users that break their terms & conditions. Doing so does not equal censorship nor is it a first amendment issue. https://www.talksonlaw.com/briefs/does-the-first-amendment-require-social-media-platforms-to-grant-access-to-all-users
