Missouri and Louisiana sued Biden over attempts to limit COVID misinformation.

A federal judge yesterday ordered the Biden administration to halt a wide range of communications with social media companies, siding with Missouri and Louisiana in a lawsuit that alleges Biden and his administration violated the First Amendment by colluding with social networks “to suppress disfavored speakers, viewpoints, and content.”

    You call it wasting time, I call it protecting our freedom of speech, including yours. If you can’t follow what I’m saying I’m sure other people can and will. The article on the OP is literally accusing the FBI under Biden of doing these things, and have given evidence showing as much, so I didn’t feel the need to give evidence of this.

      You don’t care about anything beyond pushing your own narrative.

      You keep jumping around to different claims, with no sources backing them up for what you said.

      You claim to be protecting freedom of speech, but you aren’t. You are only protecting bad faith actors, bots, and liars.

      The line has to be drawn somewhere, and when it come to the health and safety of the public somethings have to take priority. Necessary things from what I have seen.

      And this case is being appealed.

      Biden admin’s likely appeal
      Assuming the Biden administration appeals Doughty’s ruling on the preliminary injunction, the government would likely make arguments similar to what it wrote in a May 2023 filing. There is a high legal bar for ruling that “significant encouragement” would “convert private conduct into state action,” the administration argued.

      “Since 2017, Executive Branch agencies and officials have promoted authoritative information or expressed concerns with the spread of misinformation,” but “consistently recognized social media companies’ authority over their platforms,” Department of Justice lawyers wrote.

        I disagree, and that should be okay. I shouldn’t be censored for doing so. I shouldn’t be put on a list of concerning individuals like the FBI has been proven to be doing as a result of the Twitter files. Seriously if you’d just read up on it your eyes would be opened. Our current (and past) leadership along with corporate elites are trying to scare you from “bad actors” in order that you give up your freedom. This allows them to stay in power.

        I’m not “jumping around” on any claims I have made. All claims I have made are verifiable, and have followed logically throughout this discussion. I have backed up some of them with sources (time permitting) which you of course have disputed. If you take issue with any of my claims, be specific. I’m happy to provide sources when I have the time.

        Also, of course they’re going to appeal. Why would they give up on being able to censor us now?

          You just keep making claims. With no proof or evidence.

          You just made another one about using “bad actors” to give up on freedom, then have the gall to say you aren’t jumping around.

          Haven’t proven anything. Haven’t shown your way to be right. Haven’t shown any consistency.

          Your rambling at this point.

          STOP WASTING TIME

          Edit: so much for getting me a bunch of sources after 10 hours to “get to my computer”
