> The government threatening legislation unless a company censors in line with the government's wishes is wrong and a violation of the 1st am.

What is the evidence of that? There was proposed legislation, but where was the evidence of "do this or else". Are you saying that the FBI was conspiring with the legislative branch? What evidence is there of that?

I've conceded the potential for a chilling effect three times now, there is a speech issue, but no evidence of a severity even nearly on par.

Look at the lengths you have to go to to get this point, you go and find sources that allege all the same things I've already described but very angrily and then tell me I'm the one too emotionally invested to see this clearly.
