Meta just paid Trump $25 million to settle a lawsuit that his first amendment rights were violated when he was removed from Instagram.
The First Amendment does not grant you a platform.
So the corruption is just flagrant at this point.

@jmcrookston "The First Amendment does not grant you a platform."
It does actually. I imagine this isn't a right we'll have much longer, but it HAS been held that the first amendment grants that any public platform must be made available to all, including the most egregious expressions.
This means stuff like if they let a religious group put a statue up in the courthouse the satanists can put theirs up also. Also means Nazis can do their little marches.
FB isn't public though.
