The United States has always prided itself as a country that protects freedom of speech. However, there is mounting evidence that when it comes to freedom of speech on social media platforms, the government of the United States of America is bending the rules in its favor to suppress narratives that it does not like.
Twitter CEO Elon Musk has accused the US government of pushing all social media platforms to work with the US government to censor content. According to Musk every social media company is engaged in heavy censorship with significant involvement, and at times, explicit direction, of the government.
Musk was referring to internal Twitter communications published by journalist Matt Taibbi with his approval.

Elon Musk has revealed that all social media platforms work with the US government to censor content.
The files show the FBI acting as doorman to a vast program of social media surveillance and censorship encompassing agencies across the federal government. Elon Musk released the documents following his purchase of Twitter.
According to Taibbi, in addition to Twitter, the US government was in contact with virtually every major tech firm, which included Facebook, Microsoft, Verizon, Reddit, and even Pinterest.
According to the document, CIA agents nearly always sat in meetings of these firms with the FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force.

An investigation has shed light on the complicity of social media giant Twitter in the propaganda of the US military in the West Asia region.
The firm reportedly colluded with the FBI to remove content the agency wanted hidden, assisted the US military's online influence campaigns and censored, "anti Ukraine narratives" on behalf of multiple US intelligence agencies.
A lot of people have questions. How involved is the government in monitoring and censoring the speech of ordinary people?
What we've seen so far already and we have definite conclusive proof of is that there are lots and lots of reports where we see Twitter executives saying things like DHS flagged this, the FBI flagged this and then they had … a whole thread where they decided what to do about it.
Do we remove it? Do we put a label on it? So there's tons of that stuff, where they're clearly getting communications from the FBI.....more below
Any moment now I am expecting John Cleese (a veteran of Monty Python) to jump out of the bushes and announce the creation of the Ministry of Silly Wars, with Donald Trump as the deranged leader. For you youngsters out there, Monty Python’s skit, The Ministry of Silly Walks, helped make the members of MP legends. I had to reference Monty Python because the line of bullshit the Trump administration is feeding the American people and the world about the amazing, obliterating US attack on Iranian nuclear sites on Sunday morning, is more ridiculous that all of the silly walks pictured in the following video:
My hopes that Donald Trump would finally act like a responsible adult are dashed. He’s a dangerous buffoon. While the team around him are working frantically to maintain the fiction that Trump has a vision and is calling the shots on the foreign policy front, he is careening around the globe like an out-of-control cue ball on a billiards table. It started a week ago… first, he claimed...
