We have been steadfast in the belief that tech companies are stupid to ban conservative viewpoints, but are within their rights to do so on the sites that they built and are their property.

Private companies cannot violate an individual’s First Amendment rights, only the government can.

But when government employees are directing tech companies to remove posts and silence views, in effect dragooning private social media firms into doing for them what the First Amendment prohibits them from doing themselves, we have a problem.

Today the Supreme Court is hearing arguments that the Biden administration did precisely that when they directed censorship of dissenting views on COVID, many of which were later proven correct.

Kudos to Eric Schmitt for bringing the case.
