If private corporations are permitted to censor speech, then how are we to prevent government from quietly pressuring them behind the scenes to do the government’s bidding

BINGO!!!!!

imo that is what happened here with Alex Jones and certain voices on the right that are starting to be slowly kicked off of social media don’t put it past some left-wing loons in the government and politicians asking for some favors from their big Tech left-wing buddies. So government censorship by proxy.

Levin’s show showed how china does that to universities.

Universities accept money for Confucius Centers to teach mandarin. In return universities have to (forced) deny access to dissidents.

Exactly. Many people haven't studied the Nazi system regarding relationships between government and business.

Large corporations were permitted to keep owning their companies, but they were required to do whatever the STATE ordered them to do. They developed close and cozy relationships with their government controllers, and the influence system worked in both directions.

What we are seeing being implemented here in the USA is the Nazi system of Government/Business relations.
