Facebook is killing people (?)

According to Biden, Facebook is killing people:

https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/16/polit...-19/index.html

He's walked it back, saying he actually meant to say he blames "twelve people" who were spreading "misinformation" on Facebook... but in the same breath saying he wishes Facebook wouldn't "take it personal," and instead step forward and ban these people and content preemptively. So in other words, Facebook is still killing people.

Yeesh. Seems like a pretty clear picture is forming -- the government (well, the Biden white house, anyway) can circumvent the 1st amendment by just bullying big tech to do their bidding, and remove all stories and content they don't like.
