"Your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the federal government in significant ways in the most important time periods," she told the lawyer representing Louisiana, Missouri and private plaintiffs. 

"The government actually has a duty to take steps to protect the citizens of this country... by encouraging or even pressuring platforms to take down harmful information," she said.

It is statements like this that show her ignorance, or her willful ignorance, either way she should be impeached if this is her true feeling or if she's this ignorant of the intention of FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
