    Republican narrative

    For too long, the American people have been suffering under pervasive government-led censorship, and SCOTUS is now giving the administration the green light to continue that campaign.

Content moderation is the only way to stop the country from being overrun by falsehoods, and the government has a right to participate in that effort.
