How come a private citizen is order to compensate people for violating their civil rights while big tech can censor people all day long with impunity. How is censorship not also violating peoples civil rights?

How about you read more than just the headline? What happened has nothing to do with Big Tech.

Elmendorf, the former owner of Bumpy’s Polar Freeze in Schenectady, N.Y., became the first person to be charged under a new state law that that bans the filing of a false police report to intimidate someone based on their race, after New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a complaint against him in March.

When calling authorities, Elmendorf falsely stated there were “20 armed protestors who were threatening to shoot him." Five police officers showed up to the scene, though no arrests were made.

There you go, the man filed a false police report and was justly fined as a result of the crime he committed.
