The court on a 6-3 vote found that plaintiffs did not have standing to sue.

The states, for example, alleged that a Louisiana state representative's Facebook post about the Covid-19 vaccine was restricted because of government intervention, but Barrett said there was "no evidence to support the states' allegation."

Justice Samuel Alito wrote a sharp dissent, joined by two other conservatives, Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Neil Gorsuch.

Alito suggested the dispute was "one of the most important free speech cases to reach this court in years," saying the government actions were "blatantly unconstitutional."

“While the evidence shows government officials “played a role” in moderation choices, that is not enough to justify a sweeping injunction, Barrett wrote.”
