The order came in a lawsuit filed by the attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana, who claim the administration is trying to silence its critics.
- A federal judge has barred the Biden administration from communicating with social media platforms about online content.
- The decision could limit efforts to combat false and misleading stories about the coronavirus pandemic and other issues.
- It was a victory for the Republicans, who accused Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube of disproportionate removal of right-wing content.
- Democrats argue that the platforms have failed to adequately control disinformation and hate speech.
- The judge banned the government from communicating with social media companies to induce content removal.
- This may be related to the most massive attack on free speech in US history.
- Courts are increasingly forced to take into account issues that could turn decades of rule of law on its head.
