Censorship in the Group Quota Regime

As Philip Hamburger, whose New Civil Liberties Alliance s pioneering First Amendment jurisprudence helped the plaintiffs in Murthy successfully make their case in the lower courts, recently cautioned:

&the current censorship has had half a decade to become deeply entrenched. In that time, government pressure, coordination, funding, and personnel have created a&whole regime of interlocking academic, nonprofit, and other private entities that by now act on their own to coordinate [social media censorship]. So, notwithstanding the constitutional bar against government censorship, the government has already successfully launched this ship into private waters. A judicial remedy may therefore already be too late. & The government may have successfully subjected the Republic to censorship for the indefinite future.
