Who said anything about being totally silenced? Are you arguing that being banned from YouTube isn't the same as being silenced to some extent?


>Who said anything about being totally silenced?

The White House believes you should be banned from all social media not just one if you spread misinformation. Maybe that is not totally silenced, but it is getting close to it.

The personal opinion of the White House press secretary doesn't carry the force of law.


Psaki was not expressing her opinion but the opinion of the White House at least if her statement is to be believed.


It's still just an opinion. Wake me up when the government has actually taken control of all social media platforms and is forcing them to ban anyone.
