You’re confused. This “public square” you speak of only relates to certain elected officials Twitter feeds. Only if a public official uses their account to carry out their role as an elected official. And this is also still up for debate. You are not the public square replying to a vaccine opponent. You have no First Amendment rights on Twitter. The Government wanted what they thought was misinformation stopped. And it’s still up for debate what was actually misinformation. And I have news for you. The First Amendment does not protect you from libel, slander or knowingly publishing false information or publishing information “with reckless disregard for the truth.”So it is not a violation of the First Amendment for the Government to restrict your publishing false information or publishing information “with reckless disregard for the truth.”The only issue here is what is actually the truth? So, it is not a First Amendment issue. It is a truth or misinformation issue. Nope. The Government has every right to shut down the publishing of false information or the publishing of information “with reckless disregard for the truth.” This is not protected by the First Amendment. But, the Government didn’t shut them down. Twitter did. Now the Government doesn’t even have to worry whether it was technically misinformation or not. Because Twitter deemed it misinformation and shut them down. No, Twitter should not have done it. But what they did was not illegal. Case closed.</blockquote>
