Not how it works... discovery is limited to the terms of the contract, not whatever mission they want to go on. Censorship isn't illegal. Anti-competitive behavior isn't even part of the allegations.

Not sure how often it has to be explained, but the first ammendment and similar provisions in other countries only apply to the government, they do not apply to businesses.

There seems to be a huge number of people who have very strong opinions on first amendment rights, despite having never actually read the constitution. It's infuriating.

//Censorship is illegal because free speech is protected by the first amendment

Only when the Government censors. The 1st amendment doesn’t apply to private individuals.
