This is just how the Left is. They are not tolerant of any kind of opposition or opposing ideas or speech. Meanwhile, they will scream their head off if Republicans did the same thing to them.

It has never been used so blatantly as it is now. Biden's threat of vaccine mandate struck down by the supreme court is a good example. There is nothing to stop them from threatening all sorts of ridiculous unconstitutional things in the future and getting companies or individuals to do unthinkable things out of fear it might come to pass anyway. I would be just as against conservatives doing the same thing.

How you win is just as important as what you win.
That was not a defense of anyone. That was a declarative statement. They are all tarred with the same brush.

It may not be a violation of the 1st Amendment, but it demonstrates collusion of Govt and Big Tech to censor those who dare question the Dem narrative.

Definition of Censor
transitive verb

: to examine in order to suppress (see SUPPRESS sense 2) or delete anything considered objectionable
censor the news
also : to suppress or delete as objectionable

Well, that is the Merriam-Webster definition today....the Dems may get that changed tomorrow like they did with the word "vaccine"

I thought the “adults are back in charge” and the previous President lost the 2020 re-election to Brandon was a Hitler/Nazis/Fascist?

The Democrats have realized that they can use private companies to do their bidding for them. Look at the influence Facebook and Twitter had on the last election. They were in bed with the Democrats and did everything possible to help them win. Also they used private companies to push their bs Covid restrictions. This is the easy way out for Democrats. Have private companies do what they want and then just blame the company instead of themselves. The Democrats have become whores to corporations and the corporations are whores to the Democrats!

Yep! It's the Federal Government's way of skirting the First Amendment.

State run media and state run tech are communist techniques. I saw an interview of an older woman who was raised in a communist country but her parents taught her differently.
She said their government labeled opinions as "incorrect" or "correct," and if you had the "incorrect" opinion, you were punished.
Welcome to the world of the left.
Good luck.
