6. '...stop censorship," and "protect freedom of speech and fight wokeness."'

Until the Trump Court rules otherwise, private social media are at liberty to edit their content as they see fit, to exclude whomever they wish, and to engage in free expression, no matter how ‘woke,’ consistent with the First Amendment right of freedom of association and freedom of the press.

Indeed, freedom of speech concerns solely the relationship between government and those governed, not between or among private persons or private entities, such as social media.

In fact, for government to attempt to stop ‘censorship’ and fight ‘wokeness’ would be in violation of the First Amendment.

Attacking opposition media is classic fascism.
