I agree, the government should not have a role in influencing the content moderation policies of social media networks except for things that are strictly illegal.<p>It's depressing, though, because the only time people seem interested in this is when someone from the opposite political party is trying to influence content moderation policies.<p>If the Biden administration put undue pressure on social media companies, that's bad.
