Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) on Thursday said he will seek to have social media companies place lifetime bans on users who celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist shot Wednesday while speaking on the campus of Utah Valley University.

“I’m going to use Congressional authority and every influence with big tech platforms to mandate immediate ban for life of every post or commenter that belittled the assassination of Charlie Kirk,” Higgins wrote in a post on the social platform X.

Does anyone think that this specific reaction is what Charlie Kirk (self-declared free speech absolutist) would have wanted? To have the federal government use "influence" to ban people on privately-run social media companies from engaging in any future speech?
