In a major legal victory, a federal judge has slammed the brakes on the Biden administration’s alleged manipulation of big tech to censor social media. This ruling, spurred by a censorship-by-proxy lawsuit, prohibits key government agencies from inciting, persuading, or pressuring social media firms to censor content containing protected free speech. The judge’s injunction, a result of litigation by attorneys general in Louisiana and Missouri, has signaled a substantial win for free speech advocates. The controversial practices of the administration, described as an alarming infringement on free speech, have been starkly spotlighted. Despite potential appeals and continuing legal battles, this ruling has disrupted the Biden administration’s narrative control efforts and propelled concerns of government overreach into public discourse.
