This week, Judge Terry A. Doughty detailed the government’s manipulation of social media and enjoined government agencies, officers, and employees from continuing these practices.
It’s hardly news that the government has long managed news reporting through a combination of leaks, favored treatment, and threats. With the growth of social media and the COVID-19 “pandemic,” the Biden administration blatantly used every tool in its arsenal to censor constitutionally protected free speech. Posters on the pre-Musk Twitter and Facebook, to take the most obvious examples, were regularly shadow banned and even silenced altogether from posting alternate views to those of the government.
This past week, Judge Terry A. Doughty detailed the government’s manipulation of social media in a 155-page memorandum. Based on what was presented to the court, he enjoined agencies, officers, and employees from HHS, NAIAD, CDC, FBI, DoJ, White House, OMB, DHS , and DoS from continuing their practices. Those practices, which the judge characterized as “almost dystopian,” included flagging posts and “urging encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner for removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech." It also bans their working with the “Election Integrity Partnership, the Virality Project, the Stanford Internet Observatory, or any like project or group for the purpose of urging suppression or reduction of content posted with social-media companies containing protected free speech.”
The public officials had threatened the social-media companies with adverse consequences for noncompliance, including reforming Section 230 immunity, antitrust enforcement, and increased regulations if they failed to comply. It’s clear that these tactics allowed the Biden Administration to suppress free speech through proxies, where to have done so directly would have resulted in more immediate scrutiny and judicial halt. The memorandum is a well-documented history of the Administration’s unconstitutional control of information.

What was censored showed us what the government was lying about.

A good many social media entities are willing accomplices. The left’s entire MO is to shut down truth and dissent. No room for discourse.
And the GOP won’t do a damn thing about it.
I heard the term “Castro consensus” for the first time this week. So applicable it today’s America with its cancel culture.

Well, how did the judge get to be a judge?
“We choose truth over facts.” —Joe Biden
And who’s going to stop them? Other feds?
“which the judge characterized as “almost dystopian,” “
I wonder how this judge defines “almost” and “dystopian”

Are SuperMax prison terms, orange jump suits and loss of big government pensions in the perps future?
Need names! Grand juries! Indictments! Court dates! Etc., etc.!
What are we waiting for?
And today the judge has denied the Biden administration’s request for a stay on the injunction.
“Before the Court is a Motion to Stay Preliminary Injunction Pending Appeal and
Alternatively, for Administrate Stay [Doc. No. 297] (“Motion to Stay”) filed by Defendants.
[snip]
“Therefore, for the reasons set forth herein,
The Defendants’ Motion to Stay [Doc. No. 297] is DENIED”
It is a thirteen page order. The judge is explicit in his reasoning.
They should lose 230 precisely because they censored and banned posters.
It will be appealed. There are sure to be games played to get the appeal in front of a 0bama judge.

Thank you God.
God Bless the USA, Please help destroy the Great Evil that stalks mankind.
They are an indirect beneficiary of this disgusting practice.
And that, right there, sports fans, is an admission of guilt on the part of the #JihadJunta..
