A few weeks back, we did a post trying to explain how the planned meeting between Attorney General Jeff Sessions and a group of state Attorneys General to "discuss" how to deal with the imaginary problem of "political bias" on social media platforms actually represented a serious First Amendment problem. The government simply isn't allowed to pressure companies into any sort of compelled speech, and yet it appears that's exactly what these law enforcement officials were trying to do.
Late last week, we signed onto a detailed letter put together by the think tank TechFreedom, explaining why this meeting is so problematic.
