'A significant and positive development in the battle over free speech online came Tuesday in the form of a ruling in a lawsuit against the Biden administration...' -L0neStarTrooper
A significant and positive development in the battle over free speech online came Tuesday in the form of a ruling in a lawsuit against the Biden administration. Trump-appointed Judge Terry Doughty has temporarily blocked several agencies and bureaucrats from communicating with social media platforms for the purpose of targeting legal speech that the government deems harmful or “misinformation.”
The government appears to be preparing to make the defense that it might not have overtly forced the companies into censoring speech. One could argue, then, that the actions taken were technically private and not state-sanctioned. The government’s relationship with the private sector, however, is inherently coercive, and one cannot reasonably take its requests at face value with the retaliatory power at its disposal. Some of the conversations revealed through the lawsuit make this clear.
