A lawsuit by America First Legal (AFL) alleges that certain entities colluded with the American government to enforce censorship of issues like the 2020 election and COVID-19 on social media platforms.

According to a May 2 press release, the federal class action lawsuit was filed against individuals and entities identified as having “conspired with the government to deny Americans their inalienable rights, flagging content and creators for government entities so that those entities, in turn, would pressure platforms to remove that content or those creators. They created a regime of surveillance, censorship, and control fit for communist China.”
