No its not. Here is the 1st Amendment again - notice it only mentions Congress (which I believe was interpreted by SCOTUS as Government):
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Private businesses/Corporations can't violate the first because they are not government.
Taking money from the govt doesn't make a company government. If it did, farmers, energy companies, airlines, rail, banks, and even people that got tax breaks due to natural disasters would be government. This is not that hard to understand.
And again - you are right govt can't violate the constitution by proxy. In this case the stuff that was published today seemed to be dealing with the Biden campaign. Campaign - i.e. they were not yet government. If however someone that was actually government was also involved then they broke the law and should be hammered. I believe someone in the government did help the campaign, but the campaign was not government and not subject to the 1st amendment.
Enough with the retard stuff - that was a dick comment.

True, but I have had enough of libertarians standing by while it got to this point.
But the fact remains that the government cannot provide incentive or demand in any fashion -- any fashion -- for a company to censor on their behalf. That would fall under the "abridging" line.
Apologies, but it's a frustrating subject in general.
I have some serious questions from you. you say government cant violate by proxy then what about j6. They let people in the front door, then arrested them. Please tell me what you think about the oath keepers.
Was still a first amendment violation due to taking government cash and subsidies and we need to stand strong on that list.

We pay for it through the government indirectly. And once more, for the retards in the back: The government cannot violate the Constitution by proxy.
Period. Fin. Literally no acceptable argument. Donezo.
