Facebook Violating 1st Amendment?

I know, they're a private company, blah, blah blah.

But, if they provided a special portal to the federal government so the government can tell Facebook to silence a particular user, does that constitute a violation of the 1st Amendment?



Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai ran for US Senate in Massachusetts as a Republican and made allegations of voter fraud on Twitter. These tweets were then deleted by the far-left tech giant. Later it was discovered that they were deleted at the direction of government employees of the Massachusetts Secretary of State’s office.

Discovering this, Dr. Ayyadurai filed a federal lawsuit by himself, alleging that his federal civil rights were violated when the government silenced his political speech in order to affect an election.

In late July 2021, Dr. Shiva released another explosive report.

Dr. Shiva revealed how election officials and government actors work together to coordinate with social media platforms to silence speech in America.


Facebook apparently still has something similar

Imagine you're on the phone and you tell somebody "2+2=5" and an ATT operator breaks in and says, "2+2=4." That's Facebook, getting involved in conversations that are none of its damn business.
