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.

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
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova earlier said that the treaty provides for various forms of bilateral cooperation.
The comprehensive strategic partnership agreement between Russia and Iran has entered into force, Iranian Ambassador to Russia Kazem Jalali told Sputnik.
