The US is a set of entrenched interests that are now working in concert with the government. The government doesn't have to do things directly. They just have the companies do it.

Stop focusing on the government and look at how the whole system works. Post something critical of a government official and it gets censored. It happens on Facebook, Twitter, Yelp, Hacker News, Nextdoor, YouTube, etc... We aren't talking Trump or antivaxxers either.
