Judges and courts are part of the government. In particular, they apply laws (including the constitution) that were written by the government.

Yes, but that's not the government dictating something.

It is, if the government bans fact checking because they don't like it, then that IS the government dictating something.

This last year SHOULD be a warning on why government control is a bad plan, do you want each government just outright banning stuff from the other side?

Because that is the path which is before you.
