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.
