Free Speech Until it's Inconvenient

I think it’s a bad policy choice and poor optics for the White House to do this, but it’s not unconstitutional under 1A.
I'm not seeing many here (well, besides Abby) saying it's necessarily unconstitutional. I'm seeing people think it's clearly at the point where it can be considered a slippery slope. I'm guessing that by saying it's "poor optics" and "a bad policy choice" you're not too far from that idea as well. So where is the disconnect here?
 
No one is saying Facebook is a government entity.
They are pointing out that a government entity, the White House, is trying to get Facebook to pull posts the White House doesn't like. That's where the First Amendment issues arise.
You might have to give up. I can't teach my dog to do my taxes and you can't teach seminole97 or rileyhawk to understand commonsense or the truth.
