Summary
For that to be true, the courts would have to conclude that tech companies are arms of the government, which is singled out in the First Amendment."I have not seen that argument get past the straight-face test," said Vanderbilt University law professor Brian Fitzpatrick, who predicted defense lawyers would win motions to dismiss.As recently as 2019, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote in a majority opinion that "the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment constrains governmental actors and protects private actors," adding that "a private entity may be considered a state actor when it exercises a function 'traditionally exclusively reserved to the State.'"In Trump's suit against Facebook, he calls the company a "state actor."But the decision to publish material — or to refrain from publishing it — is not a function traditionally, exclusively or otherwise reserved to government in the United States.
