And you’re still wrong! There is no evidence that the government forced social media companies to do anything, and the article you provided doesn’t even make the claim that anyone was forced to do anything.

I didn't say that article claimed that. This information is already known, and it's why there is a case in the first place. The Twitter files came out and corroborated that it had been going on for quite a while.

So you don’t have any source for your claim that social media companies were literally forced to take actions directed by the government?

Let me get that for you, but yes I do.
