Complete eradication': COVID treatment contrarians sue feds, Big Tech, disinfo cops for censorship

Acting out of ideological and financial "anti-competitive animus," federal agencies, Big Tech and purported anti-disinformation groups collaborated to squelch publishers that promote narratives at odds with COVID-19 treatment orthodoxy, a new First Amendment lawsuit alleges.

The federal complaint by Natural News publisher Webseed and its companion Brighteon Media, whose holdings include websites for original and aggregated video and artificial intelligence large language models, joins other anti-censorship lawsuits against the State Department and its Global Engagement Center, NewsGuard and social media.

It makes similar allegations as suits against State by the conservative Daily Wire and The Federalist, whose presiding judge greenlit most claims and granted expedited legal discovery earlier this month; NewsGuard by left-leaning Consortium News; and journalist Alex Berenson against the former Twitter.

The Webseed and Brighteon complaint, which names the State, Defense and Homeland Security departments as federal defendants, is full of quirks, however.

Any private publishing business, be it internet, paper, broadcast, or even leaflet, has the right to censor contributors at its own pleasure, in my opinion. However, and that's a big however), it also has the obligation to inform the contributor of doing so and giving the reason for its censorship. The practice of shadow banning, blacklisting, restricting viewers, etc., without informing the contributor, violates free speech in this country.

The better question. How many people would hav locked down and taken the vax under Obama, Biden or Hillary????
They require trump to move the country toward Marxist ideology.
Toilet paper was scarce while he was prez…. Yet here we are.
Don’t believe it???? Then you’re just not being honest. He didn’t lock her up. He banned bumpstocks and allowed unvetted Syrians in.
Fake news. Trump talked repeatedly about it the billions of lives saved worldwide with operation warp speed.
So the man whose experts said no choir, but burning cities approved, is the republican nom.

Every one of the censors is liable for each death from the Jim Jones Jab.
