Yes, you missed something. If the White House is working with them, this is not just the private company's choice; it is the private company working in response to/cooperation with the government. The government is choosing to censor and working with private companies to enact this censorship. That makes this an explicit and flagrant violation of the First Amendment. They've come out in the open now. This is an explicit challenge to the entire concept of freedom of speech. They're asking the public, "Are you willing to challenge us on this?" If we're not willing to push back, totalitarianism is here. Individual rights are a thing of the past. This is way beyond any individual company at this point.
