New US visa rules will force foreign students to unlock social media profiles

You’re naive if you think they’ll stop with foreign students.

True. After seeing how the tech companies, media, and Biden administration acted during the pandemic, you should be worried about how quickly this can spin out of control.

Lol. The Biden administration who simply asked platforms to enforce their own terms of service?

Maybe you're better example is the Trump administration saying it's going to withhold transportation funding from cities because citizens their dared to protest him, issued presidential orders against law firms that represented people suing him, pulled the security clearances of people who dared to say that the 2020 election was not stolen, and threatened trees and charges against a former DHS official who wrote an unflattering op-ed in the Washington Post.

One of these is not like the other

I think the other comment is referring to Biden administration coercing social media companies on covid19 content ranking until a judge stopped it. Idk if this was related, but YouTube had covid19 vaccine videos promoted to a special place on its front page for over a year.

Flagging content that's against terms of service, foreign interference or illegal (like voting by text scams) is hardly coercion.

The Supreme Court threw out the case.

The Twitter files were a nothing burger

The article you linked states that it was thrown out for technical reasons. Multiple lower courts sided with the plantiffs so it's clear that the actions taken are far from uncontroversial.
