The Lead Up to the Hearing: Missouri v. Biden
Uncover DC ^ | 5/24/23 | Tracy Beanz

Posted on 05/24/2023 2:59:02 PM PDT by CFW

Missouri v. Biden was filed on May 5, 2022. Since it was initially filed, it has taken quite a trip through the court system. The complaint has been amended 3 times, with the most recent Amendment being to transform the case into a class suit – due to the overwhelming evidence of broad harm to the constitutional rights of all Americans. You can view the docket by using this link.

The complaint alleged that the US Government was not only threatening and coercing social media companies to censor Americans on social media, but they were also working WITH social media companies to accomplish that goal.

It alleged that topics surrounding COVID-19, the origins of COVID, the Great Barrington Declaration, election integrity concerns, the COVID shot, the Hunter Biden laptop story (and more) were under scrutiny by the White House and other government agencies – and that the government had very publicly threatened to take action against social media companies should they not act to censor viewpoints on those topics that were disfavored by the government.

The Plaintiffs in the case (the states of Missouri and Louisiana, along with several other private plaintiffs) moved for expedited discovery to be able to obtain a limited set of evidence as well as depositions of certain officials. They argued that this evidence would allow them to make the case for a temporary injunction to stop the government from infringing on the first amendment rights of Plaintiffs and their citizens.

If you want to read some of the evidence in Missouri v. Biden that shows how strongly the Biden administration went after social media for not deleting posts regarding Covid-19 and the vaccine, this is a fascinating article (complete with court filings). Biden officials were offended that Alex Berenson was even allowed to exist, much less post his opinion regarding Covid.

Seems difficult to suggest entire states’ populations have no standing in their 1st Amendment rights being infringed.

“Now do the stolen election.”

The left brought us to this point in history by chipping away for 100 years. Consider this case beginning the process of chipping away at the left.

“In one of the more immoral and heartbreaking exchanges, Meta let the government know that they heard their calls for more censorship. They decided that in response to White House pressure, they would remove content that, in their words, was “often true.” What content/groups/pages? That of the vaccine injured sharing their horrific stories and finding some community when everyone they needed for help refused to help or acknowledge them.

They also assured the White House they would limit message forwards on WhatsApp, gave detailed reports on censorship to government bureaucrats, and would censor “non-violative content, such as dissuading the choice to vaccinate in terms of personal or civil liberties,” and “concerns related to mistrust in institutions.”

Think about this for a second. The government—the people you “elected” to represent you—are having social media companies censor talk about your individual rights and criticism of them.”
