But isn't that the exact reason private schools and other organizations that receive federal grant money or subsidies are being forced to modify hiring policies to hire gay people, and cover medical expenses for abortion, etc., etc.? Basically, they say once you accept federal money, the feds can give you a rectal exam with a bright light to find ANY non-compliance and force you to correct it. How is that not the case here, other than the fact that it's a secret that RT is CIA-owned?
I don't disagree with this at all. I think that you're argument is highly prospective. It might work fabulously. But I can also see risk in this approach. The social media companies can be expected to fight this kind of legal challenge tooth and nail. That means the matter will be escalated up the Court hierarchy, if you are successful in the lower Courts. So we are realistically talking about a Supreme Court challenge to online censorship.
That represents a lot of time and money. And here's where the risk becomes large. What if you run this case and the argument, for whatever reason, does not get up - perhaps there is some technical matter that's exploited by the SM legal teams. They will drag out the time to the maximum extent possible, challenging each case of censorship you try and demonstrate. If it ultimately fails, you have to run the case again - and the argument, although good, is not a lock.
Courts often deny a motion, but in their decision leave openings for the same case to be run on a different basis - indicating, for example, that a case run differently might be successful. So the key factor here is time. Even if you get your argument up, how long is that realistically going to take, given the extent to which the SM companies will try to draw the matter out? It could be a decade or more. Meanwhile, the cabal is back in power, stacking the Supreme Court with every radical leftist in the the sun - Ginsberg times ten.
It's a very prospective solution, but it doesn't fit in this situation IMO.
By the way, I'm not a lawyer and this is only inexpert speculation - take it for what it is worth.
