>We already have the receipts of the Biden administration "advising" Facebook/Twitter/etc on who to ban and for what.
Ah, okay, so its the latter. You conflate Twitter banning you with the government regulating speech.

>The government using a third party to do things that would be illegal for them to do themselves is still a blatant violation of law
So it seems like its a combination of a few things - you loudly not understanding the first amendment and conflating social media platforms banning people with government regulating speech. The government never used a third party to regulate speech. The government, in the Twitter files, sent accounts to Twitter that they recommended for review and potential enforcement action if they violated Twitter's ToS and for 90%+ of these accounts Twitter did nothing. Twitter, in their own e-mails, remained consistent that violation of the ToS was the only measure for account enforcement to which the FBI never protested and Twitter received zero punishment for doing.

Even if Twitter did ban every account on behalf of the FBI it has nothing to do with the first amendment. The first amendment prevents congress from establishing laws regulating speech. You have no constitutional right to use Twitter. Getting banned from Twitter is not an enforcement of any law. You can take issue with the FBI being involved in reviewing accounts or contacting Twitter or attempting to weight in on ToS issues - that's completely fair. It just has nothing to do with the first amendment and is a complete abandonment of the claim that the left wants the government to regulate speech. Democrats have proposed precisely 0 pieces of legislation regulating speech.
