A US District Court judge has temporarily barred White House officials from meeting with tech companies regarding social media censorship, ruling that such meetings in the past were likely violations of the First Amendment‘s right to Free Speech.
Louisiana Judge Terry A. Doughty issued the injunction on Tuesday in response to recent cases filed by the attorneys general of Louisiana and Missouri. During the COVID-19 outbreak, the White House allegedly forced or “significantly encouraged” tech companies to restrict free expression, according to the lawsuits.
Doughty has barred various federal employees and agencies from contacting social media sites in an effort to control speech, including some of Joe Biden‘s Cabinet members and White House mouthpiece Karine Jean-Pierre. How much do you want to bet that the scumbag Biden administration will assign different people to continue working with social media tech tyrants to censor free speech that the Democrats don’t like? They will claim they didn’t use the people the judge said they couldn’t.
The lawsuits named Google, Meta [Facebook], and Twitter.
According to the order, the government’s activities “likely violate the Free Speech Clause” and the court “is not persuaded by Defendants’ arguments,” handing a huge blow to the White House.
“During the COVID-19 pandemic, a period perhaps best characterized by widespread doubt and uncertainty, the United States Government seems to have assumed a role similar to an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth,'” Doughty said.

Think about how many people may have died because the Biden administration pushed a narrative that was a lie according to numerous medical studies and medical doctors.
“If the allegations made by Plaintiffs are true, the present case arguably involves the most massive attack against free speech in United States’ history,” the injunction continues. “In their attempts to suppress alleged disinformation, the Federal Government, and particularly the Defendants named here, are alleged to have blatantly ignored the First Amendment’s right to free speech.”
The tech tyrants will argue that the First Amendment only stops the government from censoring free speech, but they will lose that argument since they worked in cahoots with the Biden administration. When a private company works with the government to violate innocent people’s free speech, the company is considered an agent of the government and that’s illegal.
According to the injunction, “the censorship alleged in this case almost exclusively targeted conservative speech,” but the issues raised by the case extend “beyond party lines.”
I love this judge.
“Viewpoint discrimination is an especially egregious form of content discrimination,” Doughty contended. “The government must abstain from regulating speech when the specific motivating ideology or the perspective of the speaker is the rationale for the restriction.”
The cases could imply that future connections between Internet businesses and government officials will be considerably restricted. National security threats or criminal matters on social media may be exceptions.
On Tuesday, the Missouri and Louisiana attorneys general responded favorably to the order.
“Happy birthday America. You get your First Amendment back!!!” Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey stated in a tweet.
“Today’s historic ruling is a big step in the continued fight to prohibit our government from unconstitutional censorship,” Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry said in a statement. “We look forward to continuing to litigate the case and will vigorously defend the injunction on appeal.”
