The government cannot pass a law restricting freedom of speech. YouTube, the Washington Post, FOX News or the Scientific American can restrict your freedom of speech as much as they want. Scientific American will never print a letter from a cold fusion researcher. That is their right. YouTube or Facebook can delete any post they want, for any reason they want, or for no reason. It is entirely up to them. The government cannot interfere with their decision because freedom of speech includes the right to not publish something. They cannot be forced to publish a statement.
If Facebook deletes too many messages that would be bad for their business. People will stop using it. That is entirely a matter for Facebook and their users to decide. The government has no role and their decision to delete messages or ban people has nothing to do with constitutional free speech. 2021-09-15-big-tech-censored-predictors-of-biden-vaccine-mandate-all-proven-correct.html > <https://youtubecensorship.com/2021-09-15-big-tech-censored-predictors-of-biden-vaccine-mandate-all-proven-correct.html> > > I doubt this, but Big Tech can censor anything they want. That is their constitutional right, as I said. I think FOX News censors more than they do, but I am not keeping track.
