There's an obvious difference between a public lawsuit and secret, behind the scenes pressure from the government, with an implied quid pro quo.

There are differences but the end result is the same. Perhaps worse in trumps case. The media companies are acting out of fear of retribution. The twitter files revealed that twitter was comfortable pushing back when they wanted to.

Of what value is the "when they wanted to" qualifier, when the moderating teams were all aligned with progressive political intent? And in the presence of an obvious implied quid pro-quo, if only in the feeling that one is in the good graces of those who pull governmental strings? No, I'll take the public and transparent lawsuit, every day.

Did you listen to the Zuckerberg interview with Rogan?
"Comfortable" is not a word that applied to the government pressure.

I did, and thought about that when I posted the above. But Zuck has an agenda now, like he did then, and the email exchanges released by twitter files are pretty clear evidence that pushback happened.

You're conflating the Twitter Files with Facebook.
Zuckerberg was really clear about the pressure that the Biden administration put on them. And there was not much comfortable pushback from Meta AFAICT.
Perhaps there was at Twitter, but Zuck didn't mention it at his shop.

Again, Zuck had an agenda then, and he has one now. It’s possible that the same authorities that allowed twitter to push back held the line at Facebook, but that doesn’t seem likely.

I do not believe supply and demand merits DOJ investigation.

Yeah it’s not like these companies are culling flocks just to be dicks. It’s actually required by the federal government.

For me, it is interesting that the chicken flu is pretty much 100% fatal. Most diseases do not want to be 100% fatal, as that prevents them spreading and continuing to "live".

I guess government policies like mandatory culling make certain avian diseases “100% fatal” to prevent spreading.
