Supreme Court extends reprieve to White House in social media censorship case
The story reports:
“The Supreme Court on Friday gave the Biden administration some additional breathing room by extending a hold on a lower court ruling that had forbidden the White House and FBI from pressuring social media companies to censor Americans’ posts.
Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. issued the order, known as an ‘administrative stay,’ which halts the judge’s ruling for one more week. He has kept the ruling on hold since Sept. 14 as the case has developed in the lower courts.
The case developed into a significant test of government power and social media after U.S. District Judge Terry A. Doughty delivered a serious legal spanking to the administration, finding that the government engaged in a ‘widespread censorship campaign’ to enlist social media to suppress opposing views on the coronavirus pandemic and the 2020 presidential election.”
This is, need it be ignored again, the country of the First Amendment and free speech. And yet it has taken “a serious legal spanking to the administration, finding that the government engaged in a ‘widespread censorship campaign’ to enlist social media to suppress opposing views on the coronavirus pandemic and the 2020 presidential election.”
