A private company probably shouldn’t be allowed to interpret the constitution to this degree. I wonder if someone will sue and SCOTUS will rule.

The constitution protects all American people and businesses. People should absolutely study it, understand it, and use it as part of their reasoning when it comes to responses to government or other legal requests.

we need that web 3.0 now more than ever

The future is decentralized, how do we make it happen? It makes me sad that my children and their children are heading towards a sanitized internet where only the corporate mainstream is allowed and the rest is crucified.

Well put. As we've also seen from numerous leaks and incidents over the years, big business and government often works hand-in-hand, with revolving door policies and barely legal indirect bribes happening regularly.

That the government is now seeking to curtail the First Amendment by exerting pressure on these companies should be alarming to anyone.
