A U.S. federal judge has blocked some of the agencies and officials of President Biden’s administration from communicating with social media companies to moderate content. The ruling is in response to a lawsuit by two Republican attorney generals.

Social media like twitter parlor facebook are used for Reich Wing Propaganda that constantly lies and spreads false information and to prove that is why there is a Maga Cult that worships a obese lazy blob of uselessness.
So even the judge knows leftists are fascist.
“The injunction is strikingly broad and clearly intended to chill any kind of contact between government actors and social media platforms.”
You bet — it’s classic prior restraint. Moreover, just applying the exceptions — warning of national security threats, criminal activity or voter suppression — in itself requires the evaluation of speech based on content.
Social media was not an issue of the day when the constitution and bill of rights were created.
We now have a divided country because of deceptive social media behaviors and laws have yet to be made or amended to keep up with technology.
Many of our basic common sense and ethical and moral compasses have been left behind by too many that just want to stir the pot of rot. We should never expect that Ghost Writers will be from the moral majority. We also must understand there are many weak minds that are easily swayed by the hate bait.
These things shall never be resolved completely without some retribution of actionable consequence to diminish criminal instigation, resulting in violence.
I enjoy free speech, but bullying, lying, and being hateful to incite violence via social media platforms in all forms that result in harm is a call to creating laws to halt such activity.
You can not threaten to harm someone or incite a riot or violent act without consequence in person, why is it acceptable to let it flow on social media platforms ?! Just my thoughts regarding free speech.
And you trump haters put these criminals in office. Add this to bribery from China and Ukraine
Everything democrats accuse Trump of doing they do themselves. Collusion, obstruction, unfettered bias, fascism, corruption etc etc. And all with the full backing of 99% of MSM(yes I know Fox, that’s the 1%), FBI, DOJ, Big Tech, most social media. And still Trump will be competitive in 2024. Even if convicted will probably win. That’s how bad Dems have become.
a judge needs to remove your fcc license you are all bias Amercan hating commies
yeah and biden says democracy is under attack ,really
had to bring trump into this you people are worse than stalin
Finally! A judge restores the first amendment on social media!
blah blah blah
Did they restrict President B. from sniffing the ladies?
Are they telling us that there is a number at Facebook where a real person…… located in the US , will pick up?
I thought that was just a urban myth.
( sarcasm)
How dare people try to stop RePUGliKLAN Fascist lies and misinformation?
It’s insane how all the news agencies think we agree with their interpretation of this. This reporting has just gotten so disgusting.
This isn’t shocking, at all.
What happens when both Biden and trump are long gone? Will you all continue to fight over who likes who?
The President also has free speech. I hope it is at once challenged
They’re one president late.
lol, and in counterpoint: the clickfarmers and bots are here in force shouting YAY! OUR DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN FUNDED BY RICH PROPAGANDISTS IS NOW PROTECTED!
Vaccine denial, (with no scientific basis) is a danger to society. We can’t run into a crowded theater and yell, “Fire!” when there is no fire.
The most corrupt administration ever! I thought the right were exaggerating when they said Biden would be a Trojan horse for the left but that turned out to be true.
Unfortunately it is necessary when misleading information is being posted.
😂🇺🇸👍🏻
This will be appealed.
1984, the government needs to be removed and the constitution followed, government needs to go back to being small and efficient. .
This is a fantastic news for democracy.
So the ministry of truth has been sidelined for a bit
so much for separation of powers. Judicial oversteps.
Now we can start hearing some reality!
Only Trump can save America and our family
MEDIA you will be next he is definitely a Trump supporter
This definitely needs to be investigated by the DOJ.. he is definitely a Trump supporter and showing his bais in his ruling…. I think his decision needs to be over ruled.. he is definitely going after the Democrats and Independents when Trump did it it was Okay Noooo this Judge definitely needs this decision be overturned… Republicians Democratics and Independents need to be outtaged over this decision bcuz it will come backnto bite them as well. Lawyer’s jump on this NOW immediately appeal this case bcuz you can see this judge on this ruling is bais and if the Supreme Court rules in favor thisv in my opinion it is time to maybe makes some changes to the courts it is obvious that the American citizens are Nobody and they don’t care and are being prejudice right before our eyes if you are not thinking the Republician way that is not a Democracy in my opinion
Ah yes Democrats, show us all how little you care about the First Amendment.
July 15, 2021 White House news conference about Covid: *“We are flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation,” said former Biden spokeswoman Jen Psaki! ““it’s important to take faster action against harmful posts…and Facebook needs to move more quickly to remove harmful violative posts.” One of those ‘harmful posts’ was that the virus started in the Wuhan lab – WHICH WAS TRUE!* That’s just one of many, many examples of the Biden administration suppressing free speech! And the judge himself gave example after example in his opinion!
In Oct. 2020 just weeks before the election the FBI bullied Twitter to take down the NY Post account and censor all stories about the Hunter Biden laptop saying it was Russian disinformation *when the FBI had already verified it was Hunter’s laptop! So the FBI lied to Twitter!* THIS IS CLEAR SUPPRESSION OF FREE SPEECH AND WAS INTERFERING WITH A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION!!!*
So the media corporations can publish anything false or not. There should some legislation prohibiting lies slanders. Can there be licensing require for any news media to publish news or information. Any idiots can publish anything harmful and make money by hurting the public. Corporations has free range
Its because of more fake news! Sure drag trump into this but dont explain the circumstances.msnbc is one reason i started watching epoch times
Just keep putting misinformation up so people don’t know the truth or, for that matter, anything that could cause harm to the American people. I mean, what the heck let people be put in harms way and who cares about slowing deaths who cares about doing the right thing. Keep up the good work stopping harmful information from getting out.
This ruling is wrong.
Some communist democrat said it perfectly, “This is a conservative idea.” Yes, freedom is a Republican idea, unlike Democrats who want to regulate you life from when you wake up to when you go to sleep. So if you like freedom, then vote Republican and if you want your speech censored and regulated, then vote Democrat.
Jab is bad. I knew it then, other people finding that out now. #pureblood
Interesting
“I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.”…..Hunter Biden
Pure tyranny nothing else.
First Roe v Wade, then affirmative action, then no student debt forgiveness and now this. I am so happy intelligence is finally outdoing WOKE
Ministry of Truth – social media companies working with Biden Administration, 1984 is here
How is that going to go over? We all still have our Constitution and the freedom of speech.
Only communist and cheaters fear Free Speech. Democrats fear Democracy
Yeah, sounds like a Trump appointed court. There are limits to free speech as the former President is now finding out. You can’t continue to keep lying about everything and anything and not expect retribution. Like the old saying goes, “you can’t yell fire in a crowded theater, it’s not protected speech”
Joe Bidens Whitehouse went too far. Vaccine mandates, censorship of free speech, whats next. Democracy dies with Biden.
So Trump was able to run rampant on social media to the point of starting a riot and insurrection and now some judge wakes up and says no social media for a president .A little to little to late
This hurts more to Trump tbh lol
Another words…..the judge upheld the first amendment!😊
You can’t say anything incorrect. The government decides what’s correct. What could go wrong?
I guess I’m MAGA now 😅
Funny how faux news and the rightwing liars are cheering for their right to continue deceiving, distorting the truth, and outright lying.
Biden isn’t combating disinformation. He’s peddling it himself and enforcing it.
Good for that. These SCUM should be forbidden to BREATHE.
Free speech wins over the lies of the deep state
End all social media, it has been bastardized from its initial use.
Well, that’s going to be overturned just as soon as the appeal gets processed.
Reported dumped a word salad.
The Government WORKS FOR THE PEOPLE.
IT IS NOT THE MASTER OF THE PEOPLE.
Really trump us still involved somehow…
The bias in reporting never ceases to amaze. The White House is in trouble because it effectively banned and discredited experts and regular citizens who told the truth. This was NOT about curbing mininformation: it was about supressing truth.
Those in power should never have the power to silence anyone… Especially those who may be accusing those in power of overstepping their power.
The people censored are always those who are questioning or exposing the govt. Assange is still in jail.
How can government overreach be stopped if we don’t have the freedom of speech to even point it out.
This gop cult and maga folks are the biggest ruination of America ever.Get out and vote Blue these folks have to go their dangerous to our safety , well-being and Democracy.
I have no problem with any government agency, contacting any publisher, and saying, “We dispute that information. Please consider removing it.” I do have a problem with government agencies coercing edits, censorship and removal. You gotta admit, 6 years of national convulsions over the discredited Trump-Russia-Collusion hoax was over the top, and I don’t blame the Trump admin one bit for raising a flag on ot.
Democrats, Puppet Biden and it’s supporters are the True authoritarians!!!
And you people voted for Joe Blow
Joe Biden is not fighting against Miss information He’s fighting against the truth
All you media reporters are just as guilty as Joe Biden and you will be held accountable I guarantee you. Might be a good idea to hire body guards now
This is great news
Journalists!!!!! It’s attorneys-general!
The fascist establishment media’s freakout over limiting government censorship is telling.
The business of government “combating disinformation” is totalitarian nonsense.
The White House definitely was weaponization social media…..
DURING Trump’s Reign!
This is just this month’s attack on Biden!
a “LOOK SEE” moment!
Trump did it and so is Biden!
None of the conservatives want this to actually pass, because they ALL are heavily influencing social media themselves! It’s the bait and switch! Look at him not at me!
Bravo to this judge! The Biden Administration’s false Covid vaccine propaganda cost scores of Americans their lives. Social media companies acted as the henchmen by censoring experts and spreading all the lies. Without free speech we are not free!
anything done by republicans is evil as a nasty high school bully.
Deep State will have to rely more on Chinese built Dominion vote altering machines and illegal mail in unverified ballots to choose they’re next historical ” President”.
“How much of a blow” Speaking of blow Joe: who’s blow was found in the White House? Did Hunter spend the day there?
What about FBI DOJ
Democrats will ignore this ban
Good on the judges! It’s time for MSM to stop acting like Fascists! https://youtu.be/gTLDkM__95I
Government already cannot promote or be an influence in choosing any one religion over another. Government also cannot be allowed to influence those sources from where we get our information, as a government will use that to push a single political agenda..
About time but they need to remove jo bin and the hold bunch it was not miss information infact it was mostly true stop covering for these liberal lieing
It’s like someone saying yea I believe the government should have the power to censor what I see and hear. Like who in their right mind would think like that! Have people gone nuts ever since Covid started!!!?
Awww obiden crime family cant censor, big bummer
You still have 100% of fake news media on your side…
Treason. Impeach Biden
All government agencies should be barred from squashing free speech.
Fine line here. The government, read the people’s representatives also have a right to free speech. A government suggestion or desire is different from pressure or threats and or outright laws. I believe it has been established in law that the government can contact with companies with the intent to influence for the good of the people. A fine line here
Government is not the answer, Government is the problem… – Ronald Reagan
Bahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣no bribery for you
Good thing they never started the misinformation board !
Not a one of these people and friends should be given control as they have proven the can’t handle and will abuse it
