The same kind of error Barbra Streisand made

“It feels like the folks who own these companies have an interesting perspective on what the First Amendment is,”

Yeah, unfortunately it applies to state, not private entities. A social platform muting you is just a bigger version of a community mod doing mod things.

This does all end up being free and effective marketing for him anyway, and he'd know it.

We used to regulate forms of mass communication.

Then the internet comes along and we let the oligarchs control monopolies and shape the narrative however they want.

As if the oligarchs didn't also own the newspapers, news outlets and radio stations...

The FCC and SEC should be regulating all of these recent media mergers, but they are not because Trump tells them not to. In fact it’s the opposite, Trump tells these agencies to threaten media companies to alter content to fit his agenda, see Colbert, 60 Minutes, etc.
