Ok, so then we can agree that the gov definitely is engaging in illegal violations of first amendment rights!

Looks like you agree with the judge here from the article.

Looks like you've still failed to articulate the credible implied threat Facebook felt from the Biden administration's requests,

or how that ties in with the GOP-controlled senate bringing the CEOs before them:

did they do that because the Biden administration ordered them to, as a result of Facebook ignoring one of the requests?

It's a laughably bipartisan conspiracy theory, and thus nobody would actually feel threatened by it.

Bringing up an example of something that your disfavored party does, is not a counter argument to the idea that the government pressured companies.

In fact it actually proves the point, you just also thing the other party infringed on people's rights as well.

the discussion is not about that idea of yours, and "the government" is not a monolithic entity

the discussion was around whether Facebook felt there was an implied threat there credible enough to act on it out of fear

obviously, they didn't, and wouldn't, because such a threat would have required that Biden control the GOP Congress somehow, which he didn't

It's been articulated, you just choose to ignore it.

ah yes, that classic proof, "I already proved it!" [with no citations, while entirely failing to respond to any clarifying questions]

can be applied in all cases!
