> twitter was actively working with federal government
replyThat's your problem? Wait until you get around to the Snowden Files, you'll be floored.
"working with federal government to censor speech" is a 1A violation on the government's side
replyPrivately owned platforms are not required to respect the First Amendment. Neither Twitter nor X can guarantee your freedoms.
replyOf course not. Those platforms have 1A rights. In some cases, the US govt violated those rights by pressuring them to take down viewpoints, hence what I said about "1A violation on the government's side."
replyIn other cases, the platform did it all on their own. That's perfectly legal but is also rightfully seen by users as political censorship, something the EFF claims to fight even when it's not from the govt.
The government compelling them is the issue.
