Big Tech Sabotage and State Action are NOT Speech

Big Tech Platforms are NOT Speakers, Editors, or Owners of their users’ Speech and Relationships. The covert Big Tech manipulation of users’ speech is hard to notice, much less to understand. Thus, it does not have even “sufficient communicative elements to bring the First Amendment into play” (Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397, 404 (1989)).
