assert — or whether or not the decision to suppress the story was right or ethical — Twitter's actions were not a violation of the First Amendment."The clear answer, the 100 percent clear answer, is no," Doron Kalir, a professor at Cleveland-Marshall College of Law, told Insider."Twitter is not a state actor and the First Amendment applies only to state actors."states it plainly:"Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.
Which means rather than Twitter violating the First Amendment, the private platform was actually expressing its First Amendment rights by making its own decisions about what to publish.As for the requests to remove specific content, as far as we know, they were exactly that: requests. Unlike the Biden team, the White House was a state actor. But Kalir noted that cooperation between media and government is about as old as government itself.
