This way they gain, not only money but power and control as well and a "legal" means to destroy anyone who gets in their way. It's sad, really, what some humans do to other humans for money and power.
How would the government make money by prohibiting censorship in private industry? Rather than the government fining censors, the people being censored could sue the censors, i.e., only the victims profit.

Whoops! I reinvented the wheel:

Paul Nehlen wants a $500,000 government fine per instance of wrongful censorship. I'm not sure I would support that. Maybe, $100 is reasonable.
