BREAKING: Robert Kennedy Jr. has been granted a massive victory in his lawsuit against the Biden administration for colluding with social media companies to censor him and others.

RFK Jr. was able to win a preliminary injunction against the White House and several federal agencies as a federal judge ruled that the government was "insinuating themselves into the social-media companies’ private affairs and blurring the line between public and private action."

Judge Doughty said Kennedy provided substantial evidence that the Biden administration had coerced the companies into suppressing free speech related to Covid, elections, gas prices, climate change, gender, and abortion.

"It is certainly likely that Defendants could use their power over millions of people to suppress alternative views or moderate content that they do not agree with in the upcoming 2024 national election," the judge added.

The injunction is stayed until 10 days after the Supreme Court rules on Missouri v Biden, though it prevents the White House and other agencies from coercing social media companies to "remove, delete, suppress, or reduce... content containing protected free speech."

This is a major triumph for free speech in the country that RFK Jr. has won.

This hasn't been reported elsewhere yet, so take it with a grain of salt.

Here's the ruling: courtlistener.com/docket/67089647/38/kennedy-v-biden/

They got this one right for the wrong reason.

Deep State needs a place to stash stolen Trump votes, and electronic voting machines and tabulators make that ever so easy.

So does RFK.

And for anyone who thinks my tinfoil chapeau is on too tight, a little blast from the past, circa 2006...

Update: Is 'vote flipping' an e-voting problem or user error? Do e-voting machines mistakenly give votes to the wrong candidates?

We were warned.

Pity we didn't listen.

All of these social media companies through their actions have confirmed beyond any doubt that they are In Fact, Publishers and their so called section 230 immunity is invalid. they should be held accountable.

Folks around here didn’t want to talk about it in the early days because our team was the first to know how to use it.

The best cheater wins.

That is where we are today.

Even “MSM” interviews were scrubbed from YouTube, and migrated to Rumble.

They’re illegal monopolies - especially Alphabet (Google/Youtube), Amazon, Facebook, Apple and should be busted into a million pieces.

Break up Google and YouTube. Make it illegal for Google to tailor its search results to favor YouTube or any other video streaming platform. Force Amazon to divest its web support business. Force Google to divest itself of Android....in fact, bust up Android. Force Facebook to spin off WhatsApp, Instagram, etc.

Regulate them like utilities. That means no discriminatory provision of service to anyone. They don’t get to ban, shadow ban, de-boost, deny service....ANYTHING....simply because they don’t like your politics, your religion, etc. The only thing they get to censor is....key words here....CLEARLY ILLEGAL speech like terrorism, child porn, etc. Nothing else.

Why do Dominion vote “scanners” have to have several Wi-Fi hotspots?

We used to have laws that were enforced to do exactly this, they were called Anti Trust Laws, see Robinson Patman and Sherman Clayton. As you now see, those laws are easily subverted by paying enough in Bribe Money to government officials.

our household saying is “you can’t Tell people what to do. they don’t listen anyway”. mostly to do with our grown adult toddlers.

We all know the Libs will follow the court decision. Spying on the opposition, making up fake crimes against the opposition, arresting the opposition, jailing the opposition…… just another day in the life of a lib!

Remember THE ENDS JUSTIFIES THE MEANS…. Machiavelli
