of a claim when the government dispatches private companies with threats and voluntary ordination between the government or private companies and with a special form of immunity in section 230, even one can be the basis for state action doctrine, here we have all three mib the most egregious case of state action in the guise of private enterprise that we seen a private history. jon: on a micro level, there's millions of people watching right now that are facebook users, what are you say to them about your concerns about the government leaning on the company. >> if it can happen to the 45th president of the united states it can happen to anybody is not an academic issue in a political or partisan issue if they can do it to the right today they could do to the left tomorrow these are the most powerful companies we seen in the course of human history even the dutch east india company had a private militia but it could not control the debate is not just the power alone that

violating the first amendment by deplatforming trump. and the first amendment doesn't apply to these social media companies. in other words, you don't have a right against these companies the way you have the right against the government not to have them cut you off. and, for example, i mean here, cnn, if i say something that somebody doesn't like and they say, he's a terrible guest, it's cnn's first amendment right to take me off the air because cnn is not the government. if the government said, no, you can't have conway on the air, that would violate the first amendment. and there is a doctrine that distinguishes between public actors and private actors called the state action doctrine, and it's a very important doctrine, particularly with regard to the first amendment. and it says that the only way that a private actor can be treated like the governmental actor is that if they are performing an exclusive and traditional government function. if the action by the private

I'm beginning to see where Josh Hawley got his totally nutty ideas about the 1st Amendment. The Wall Street Journal has an utterly insane piece by Yale Law professor Jed Rubenfeld -- currently suspended due to sexual harassment claims, and who was infamously quoted telling prospective law clerks for then Judge Brett Kavanaugh, that Kavanugh "hires women with a certain look" -- and a... um... biotech executive named Vivek Ramaswami who is mad about "woke" companies, insisting (wrongly) that the big internet companies are actually part of the US government and therefore have to abide by the 1st Amendment in their content moderation practices.
