This is basically how the 1st Amendment is "backdoored" in this country.

The government cannot be so brazen in curtailing freedom of speech directly so they use Big Tech as the cat's paw. Any complaint over Big Tech's censorship/narrative control can then be met with the “it’s a private company, they can do what they want” retort.
