OPINION-EDITORIAL -- The Censorship gang in various agencies and departments of the federal government, should RUN AND HIDE as fast as they can, because a LOT of them have committed violation of 18 USC §241 "Conspiracy against Rights." Prison awaits.
For the four years of the Biden Regime, a LOT of federal officials took it upon themselves to work with corporations like Facebook (META), Twitter (X), Reddit, Instagram, Whatsapp, and other social media outlets, to suppress, censor, and even ban Americans for speech.
Much of the banning, shadow banning, being put in social media "jail," etc., had to do with COVID and the now-known-PHONY "Vaccine." Anyone who raised questions or doubt about COVID, or the "Vaccine" was ruthlessly suppressed.
That effort, was a criminal act; violation of 18 USC §241 "Conspiracy against rights."
The law is simple:
If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or
If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured—
They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

In paragraph one of the law above, you folks in government and in private corporations did, in fact, "oppress" users of social media services.
In paragraph two of the law above the folks at government agencies, and inside corporations did, in fact have the ". . . intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege. . ."
A lot of you folks in government and in social media companies did, in fact, commit federal crimes; each and every time you censored someone for their speech.
Social media companies called it "dis-information" or "mis-information" or "mal-information." They had the nerve to say that they were "protecting the safety" of their users.
How about FBI Agents, some of whom, to this very day, go out to "talk to you abut your posting on the Internet?" Their very presence is an act of intimidation, of oppression. Having federal agents come to your door because you said something they're "concerned with" is outright intimidation - and I argue, it is also an actual crime. 18 USC 241.
Firstly, it is not up to the government or to the social media companies to arbitrarily define other people's views as "mis-information, dis-information, mal-information" etc. They have no such power and had no such right.
The Social Media behemoths claim protection from liability based upon Section 207 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DCMA) because, they say, they are not the "publisher." They assert that they cannot be held liable for what other people choose to post on their service. Fair enough.
Then they turn around and explicitly DO choose to control the content on the service!
Out of one side of their mouths they say they're not liable because they're not a publisher, while at the same time, out of the other side of their mouths, they assert editorial control which only a publisher can do. They can't have it both ways - and they don't have it both ways.
Each time a government employee called, texted, emailed, or used a special "portal" to tell a social media company that a certain posting had to be dealt with - either by being deleted or otherwise blocked, that government employee engaged in a Conspiracy against rights. The government employee committed a crime.
Similarly, each time a corporate employee received such a government report or alert about a posting, and took action to delete, suppress, censor, or outright ban a user for such posting, that corporate employee - and the corporation itself - engaged in a conspiracy against rights. Crimes. Actual crimes!
When the new Trump administration takes office, I want each and every government employee who engaged in this conduct, fired and criminally prosecuted. ALL OF THEM.
These people should be made such an example of through the legal system, as to send a chill down the spine of every OTHER government employee in EVERY government agency (federal, state, and local) to never do things like that again. Ever. Not even once.
Similarly, I want the executives from those social media companies prosecuted criminally. Google, Youtube, Twitter, Facebook/META, Reddit . . . . all of them.
I want the perp-walks, the Indictments, the big media coverage . . . . the whole shebang.
After all, the liberal-left has taught us quite well: "The process is the punishment."
Put them through the process. Put them through the system. Let them sit at a Defendant's table and feel the very real, unrelenting, frightening, weight of the jury verdict coming at them. Let them sit in a 7' x 10' cement block cell, with it's 300 pound steel door. Let them find out what the SHU (Special Housing Unit) is, as they have to be in administrative segregation (solitary confinement) because "they're famous, and someone in the jail might hurt them to get famous, too."
These effete snobs in government and in social media companies who think they're so above-it-all; who think they're "immune" from consequences, should be made to find out otherwise through the legal system.
Literally thousands of government employees engaged in this type of conduct for years. Similarly, literally thousands of social media corporation executives and employees engaged in this conduct -- some of them STILL ARE engaging in it.
These activities were, in fact, crimes. Violations of 18 USC 241. Prosecute the people who did these things.
Here's the ironic punch line: What the government employees and social media companies were calling "mis-information, dis-information, and mal-information" was, in fact, the truth. Worse, what those same people called "truth" and "facts" and "safe" were not.
It was GOVERNMENT, the scientists, and the big pharma people who were actually the ones engaged in mis-information, dis-information, and mal-information! It was the government and big pharma that cost innocent people their health and in some cases, their lives - by pushing an un-tested gene-therapy, masquerading as a "vaccine" that didn't work, and caused all sorts of health problems, taking place to this very day.
The people claiming they were guardians of truth, were the exact opposite. Their actions violated the rights of tens-of-thousands of Americans, and COST THE LIVES of many more. Throw them in prison.
