Well, I made up the phrase to sum it up. Trademark!
The long form is, the gov can't compel someone to remove a post if it's not illegal due to the 1A.
But they can suggest a company to "moderate" the post for them, to the same effect.

It's the same thing as when they collect data from companies.
It would be illegal for the government to spy on you, but the companies willingly give them your data.
