I'm unsure what your point is. Are you talking about social media companies, or are you talking about the government? Because free speech is about censorship from the government, not private corporations

Federal government pressured social media companies to do this. It was all in the name of fighting misinformation. Which again - is fine now but it doesn't take much imagination to see how this can go wrong should the wrong person be elected.

Large monopolistic companies are in many ways extensions of the state.
