They offered a content-neutral justification, public safety, but it s not clear what that means. A local paper pointed out that city security was stretched thin yesterday by other events, including an Angels game, a different conservative event, and a labor rally outside Disneyland, and the fact that the Gaetz/Greene rally was moved from Riverside to Anaheim at the last second gave them little time to plan. But were there really not enough police available to make the event safe, with various activist groups vowing to protest, or was that just a pretext to execute a heckler s veto of two politicians whom the city didn t want to host?

What happened to Gaetz and Greene seems more sinister at first blush than what happened with Facebook and not just because Zuckerberg s company has vastly more resources to resist government pressure than some banquet hall somewhere. For one thing, Facebook already has a policy against misinformation</a>; the White House is asking it to enforce its own policy more vigorously against anti-vaxxers. There s no reason at the moment to think the M3 Live Center had any preexisting policy against pro-Trump politicians or Gaetz and Greene specifically. The city seems to have strong-armed them into it.

Gaetz and Greene had better sue the City governments.
