There are SCOTUS rulings that the government is not allowed to use its power to persuade other organizations or people to violate someone's rights. I'm not so sure that there are penalties for the organizations or people who may bend to the government's strongarm tactics.
For example, the government wouldn't be allowed to make a venue owner prohibit legal guns from being carried onto their property, but venue owners are allowed to make those rules on their own.
If anything, I think you may be able to go after FB on fraud if their selective censorship is being done without the knowledge of those who give the site their data.
I think there's an EASY case to be made that they could lose their section 230 immunity protections since they have been acting as a "publisher" of information, rather than a "host".
