Literally 3 days after Biden took office, the government's censorship operation was flying.
The government claims that the injuries from this censorship are "Far outweighed by the governments interest in speaking and taking action to promote the public interest." This is completely antithetical to everything America stands for, and violates the Constitution.
The government's first claim is that social media companies are economically incentivized to create policy that seeks to censor speech.
Many of the witnesses testified that social media platforms weren't doing *enough* to censor and needed to do more to adjust their policies.
FBI Special Agent Elvis Chan testified that pressure from Congress, the HPSCI and SSCI -including threats of adverse legislative action-prompted social platforms to make changes and censor more and be more "Aggressive in account takedowns."
Even Psaki and the White House didn't believe the "Economic incentives" theory, as she lamented that social media companies weren't doing enough to censor speech.
Biden even accused Facebook of "Killing people" and the next day threatened Section 230 action on social media companies that didn't comply with their demands.
