That's what judges and courts are for. Neither government nor platforms should be able to make these decisions unilaterally.



Judges and courts are part of the government. In particular, they apply laws (including the constitution) that were written by the government.

It is, if the government bans fact checking because they don't like it, then that IS the government dictating something.

Because that is the path which is before you.
