Wow, this is scary. People argue so adamantly against their 1st amendment rights in the comments. Idiots. This is why direct democracy doesn't work, people are too dumb to rule themselves.

This is why staying as anonymous as you can be on the internet is important. This is why 2 factor auth is a bad thing. Accounts should always be throw away. True free speech can only be had when there are no consequences for speaking your mind. Never tie your online accounts to your real life.

Since the government "can't" limit free speech, they just have their cohorts do it for them, and then claim "since they are a private company they can do what they want." You mean just like the cake maker, right?

OK; if the government is openly controlling these so-called 'private companies' then said 'companies' can operate in a constitutional manner:
1. Provide all First-, Fourth- and Fifth-Amendment protections that the Executive Branch is bound to by the Constitution.
2. Make all internal decision documents and processes open to prompt disclosure under FOIA guidelines.
3. Be subject to conflict-of-interest reporting at least as detailed as employees in other Executive Branch agencies.
