In his op-ed concerning social media censorship, Philip Hamburger, Columbia Law School Maurice & Hilda Friedman Professor of Law, had this:
Amid growing revelations about government involvement in social-media censorship, it’s no longer enough to talk simply about tech censorship. The problem should be understood as gov-tech censorship.
He’s on the right track, but he doesn’t take it far enough, even as he writes this:
The Biden White House has threatened tech companies and federal agencies have pressed them to censor disfavored opinions and users.
That’s the nub of the matter. It’s not gov-tech censorship; it’s Government-directed tech censorship. Nothing less.
