I remember not too long ago when it was the Biden FBI censoring free speech on Twitter and FB. Now with the GOP in power they are doing it. Truth is the legacy media has always been captured by the establishment and government influence. This has been only revealed in the last few years with the growth of independent (not corporate aligned) media. Whoever is in power will often try to censor and the establishment will always try to maintain power. We need a new kind of leadership in congress that is not beholden to either corporations, the establishment party apparatus or to wealthy donors. It's a high bar but we must have standards.
I would only add that the Biden administration approach was legal and worked in conjunction with platforms while that what we are now experiencing in scale, is a like comparing apples to oranges. Still, every administration is obliged to follow the law, especially when it involves the degradation of our constitutional rights.
