I've seen parallels in Australia with speech.
- They don't "censor" because that draws negative attention.
- They instead "refer" posts to the company for review to see if it "breaches their acceptable use policy"
- Translation: "Censor this, but make up a plausible reason"
- End result: Government tells social media companies what to censor, with 100% success rate; but they have plausible deniability. The government is not censoring anyone!!
It's like the slimy arguments they make about "we didn't force you to get the vaccine".
