Aside from people in tech and the MAGA crowd, does anyone actually care about the "Twitter Files" stuff?

Then you probably should re-read all of the text that led you to the conclusion that that was what was happening.

As long as you are given the option to decline a request (a real option, not a Hobson's choice), it doesn't cross the line into state action. The distinction in legal jurisprudence is pretty damn clear here, there needs to be some element of coercion by the government; if the government has the same power as private actors (e.g., to flag things), then that doesn't meet the bar.
