I agree with you. These giant tech companies are so entangled in the government through contracts, hiring out as consultants to the Pentagon and Department of Defense, working for the government by collecting information which they turn over to it, etc., that they have become literal arms of the government. Glenn has said it is not good business to exclude and censor internet users, but the tech giants do it because they are essentially told to (threatened) by Congressional representatives and members of the government. When a Congressman says he/she is unhappy that you do not censor more, if you know what's good for you you do it. Therefore, censorship is being done at the behest of the government and I believe that implicates my Constitutional rights. I believe in a multi-pronged approach to the issue of censorship.
