A federal judge has blocked contact between Biden administration officials and social media companies, ruling that the two were working together to censor speech.
The judge, Trump appointee Terry A. Doughty, made the preliminary injunction in response to a lawsuit from Republican attorneys general in Missouri and Louisiana that alleged government officials and social media companies collaborated to suppress speech based on content."The Court has granted our motion to BLOCK top officials in the federal government from violating the First Amendment rights of millions of Americans," Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey tweeted.
The pair called it “the most egregious violations of the First Amendment in the history of the United States of America.” Collaboration between the government and Big Tech during the pandemic has been controversial for years now. In subsequent Twitter posts, Bailey said the injunction prohibits nearly all of the federal government, including the Department of Justice, Department of Health and Human Services, and Department of Homeland Security, from colluding with social media companies and prevents key officials from participating.
