Right, and it was probably done VOLUNTARILY. And while I might not like it, this is probably the correct conclusion.

We all know the SM companies are run by leftists.

Everyone knows this happened.

Proving it is another thing.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday threw out claims that the Biden administration unlawfully coerced social media companies into removing contentious content.

_________________________________________________________

Actually Social Media companies were all too eager and happy to remove contentious content.

The Biden administration hardly need ask.

Headline is false. Standing was the issue and the plaintiff’s were all lumped under same umbrella.

not to “coerce or significantly encourage” social media companies to remove content the Biden administration considered misinformation.

As if any "suggestion" by the federal government...an entity which has total regulatory power over Big Tech....could ever not be coercive! If you believe that, I've got some swampland you might want to buy.

I hate to say it, but it’s likely the correct conclusion.

I doubt very much that the White House had to put much pressure, if any, on the SM companies to run cover for them. They’re all in the same globalist boat.

It’s up to these private companies as to whether or not they want to adhere to and fight for freedom of speech principals. Musk does. These leftist companies went along with the comrades.

Terrible decision. Basically it’s unclear who, if anyone, has standing to sue when the gov jawbones a media outlet to stifle criticism, and it ignores the mountain of evidence presented showing censorship, as Alito points out.

“Standing.”

The ultimate in lawfare. Even if you have evidence, you don’t have a right to show it . . .

Hopefully we can still find someone who was banned as a direct results of government influence and they would have standing.

Again, Barret & Kavanaugh, the two “conservative” bleeding-heart wimp noodles that can’t see what’s driving the sinister agenda put right in front of their eyes. Shameful lot.

One can buy a $50 projector at Walmart and project Trump videos on your garage door after it gets dark.
