The Biden administration working with social media companies to throttle what they considered COVID misinformation might or might not have been legally principled, but it did at least pretend to have a substantive moral argument that was something like, "We don't want people to die and we're willing to take drastic steps to block information we believe might lead to their death." The moral argument for the FCC and president going around telling media companies to fire their progressive talent or else risk the wrath of the state seems to be "we believe we were treated unfairly, and now we have power, so suck it, losers," which I understand as an emotional reaction, but it really does seem notable that I haven't heard anybody even pretend that there's a deeper principle at stake here.
