Yes. Exactly. How do we as outsiders know the us govt isnt doing backchannel deals with faang, even with one is enough to get the ball rolling.

Even if thats not the case, my question still stands. If American companies banned parler, why dodgy govt intervene like how it tries to potray a sense of high handedness when it comes to Iran. If the can sanction companies to not serve Iran, cant they force them to serve parler in the first place? If not then they are silently agreeing with faang decision, against free speech
