Last week, the Supreme Court resumed government censorship by putting a stay on a lower court injunction in Missouri v. Biden.
Last week, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the soon-to-be landmark free speech case Missouri v. Biden but blocked a lower court injunction preventing the Biden Administration and deep state officials from colluding with Big Tech companies to censor American speech. The move effectively resumes dangerous government censorship until the Supreme Court rules on the case.
The injunction, issued by U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty and expanded by the Fifth Circuit Court, stipulated that the Surgeon General, White House, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and eventually the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) cannot communicate with social media companies for the purpose of policing speech. Thanks to the courts, these entities are now apparently allowed to punish supposed wrong think for the benefit of the state.
The case is set to be heard by the Supreme Court sometime before the end of June, but until then, the lower court’s decision to block the injunction means Americans’ First Amendment rights are currently under attack, and the integrity of the 2024 election is in grave danger.
Here are five examples from Missouri v. Biden of topics the federal government heavily controlled or even banned in the digital public square, demonstrating the serious risks posed by the Supreme Court’s decision to put a stay on the injunction.
Hunter Biden Laptop Story
Missouri v. Biden revealed that the FBI played an integral role in the systemic suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story, which polls indicated may have won Joe Biden the 2020 presidential election.
In the lead-up to the 2020 election, the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) met weekly with Big Tech companies, including Meta, Twitter (now X), Google, and Microsoft. During these meetings, FITF repeatedly warned the tech companies that there could be foreign “hack and dump” operations ahead of the election. Tech companies consequently labeled the Hunter Biden laptop as “Russian disinformation” and mass-censored the story.
Never did the FBI inform the companies that the laptop was verified and real, something the agency had known since December 2019. “Even after Facebook specifically asked whether the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation, [the FITF] refused to comment, resulting in the social-media companies’ suppression of the story,” Doughty stated in his 155-page memorandum.
Masks
In July 2021, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy created the “Health Advisory on Misinformation,” which put the federal government in partnership with social media companies to stop supposed health “misinformation.” The move effectively made the government’s opinions on Covid “the truth,” wrote Doughty.
Since the federal government labeled any post that challenged the efficacy of masks “misinformation,” social media companies censored any anti-masking content. For example, YouTube censored four videos from St. Louis County, Missouri, public meetings “because some citizens expressed the view that...
