Brilliant Thomas Opinion

This is a concurring opinion with no binding legal effect, but I encourage all of you to read it. It addresses censorship by Facebook et al. and how such censorship might be addressed by Congress.

Good Read.

I found this very interesting!

[QUOTE]The government cannot accomplish through threats of adverse government action what the Constitution prohibits it from doing directly.

See ibid.; Blum v. Yaretsky, 457 U. S. 991, 1004–1005 (1982). Under this doctrine,
plaintiffs might have colorable claims against a digital platform if it took adverse action against them in response to government threat[/QUOTE


Inclusive. 1st Amendment (abridging the freedom of speech,)
