What current law is unconstitutional?
Are you saying that there hasn't been a US law that has been overturned decades later because it was unconstitutional?

Get off whatever drugs your on, man

And no, the Supreme Court will let Trump just about whatever he wants. It's why he put them there

Edit: it's really easy. Just say the constitution says something else than what it actually says. They've been doing this for centuries. It's how you get Jim Crow laws

To see a non political example, see a Christian talking about the Bible. Eg Satan is a literal post Bibical construct that Christians retroactively turn unrelated passages into evidence

What speech laws are there that are currently unconstitutional? Also, it's the democrats that are the ones pushing for anti-free speech laws, remember what Tim Walz and John Kerry said about free speech? Democrats blame misinformation on why they lost the election (vs just a shit candidate and shit campaign). The democrats made the stupid Disinformation Governance Board. The democrats made it so you couldn't say covid came from a lab and that kids didn't need masks.

I'd like a source for that, please. The relevant law or statute.

OK, so just a claim from Zuckerberg. The second article is irrelevant.

You think republicans pressured social media to do either of those things? Jay Bhattacharya is head of NIH now, so that worked out at least.
I think it's more than likely nobody pressured Zuckerberg to do these things, and he said that as a deflection and to curry favour with the tech-bro alt-righties. He had control of policy.

You can't make a law that breaks the constitution... If it does, the Supreme Court will reverse it.
Assuming SCOTUS isn't ideologically captured, in which case they might just do whatever aligns with their underlying beliefs. Especially if say the POTUS, 6 members of SCOTUS and Congress are all aligned.

He didn't read the articles again. Or just found one sentence he likes and cut out the rest of the context
It's a known thing the government was telling social media companies to remove posts and whatnot.

I think it's more than likely nobody pressured Zuckerberg to do these things, and he said that as a deflection and to curry favour with the tech-bro alt-righties. He had control of policy.
Why would Facebook or Youtube or whatever platform remove posts/videos without being asked to?

Ah. So your Russian propoganda promoter

Got it
So what John Kerry and Tim Walz literally said is Russian propaganda? What is wrong with you, either argue in good faith or don't.

Assuming SCOTUS isn't ideologically captured, in which case they might just do whatever aligns with their underlying beliefs. Especially if say the POTUS, 6 members of SCOTUS and Congress are all aligned.
What ruling that they have made would give you that impression? Also, when has SCOTUS ever ruled against free speech?

? Because they have rules about content.
What rule would cause you not to be allowed to say you think covid came from a lab? Or that masking kids is probably not good policy (and this is from expert and accomplished doctors). A British expert when asked why they aren't masking kids said it was because they're not stupid or idiots, literally what he said. But in the US, how dare you say that!!!

Bud, you yourself have already posted an article in which a spokesperson for YouTube says the videos were removed due to YouTube's own content moderation policy. You've already provided the answer to your own question.

Again, what Youtube policy would say that you can't say kids don't need to wear masks. What Youtube policy was this?
