Biden’s Admin Scores Victory in Supreme Court Social Media Case!
Supreme Court Upholds Biden Administration’s Request to Remove Misinformation
In a recent ruling, the Supreme Court upheld the Biden administration’s request to social media companies to remove posts containing false information about covid-19. Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, Kavanaugh, and Jackson supported the majority decision, stating that the states did not have the legal right to interfere in the administration’s actions.
Controversy Surrounding the Case
The case, originating from Missouri v. Biden in May 2022, gained attention when social media users claimed their freedom of speech was violated. Louisiana joined the case, which led to a judge issuing a restraining order against US officials from contacting social media companies in July 2023.
Political Drama and Allegations
The case was linked to the controversy surrounding the acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk and allegations of collusion between the Biden administration and big tech companies. Former reporter Matt Taibbi and others uncovered emails showing the administration pointing out violations of platforms’ Terms of Service by denialists and anti-vaxxers.
