So if a private company censors speech on its platform at the bidding of a government authority, would *that* be a violation of the First Amendment?

So if AT&T listened in to your private phone conversations, or whoever is your local phone company, did this to you would you take the same position? After all AT&T is a private company.

Keep in mind Social Media is today’s modern telephone. That is how most people communicate.

When people from the same government that issues your license to operate “suggests” censoring posts THAT in my opinion violates the first amendment.

So, Facebook could say, “No Free Blacks!”?
