Biden Administration Can't Be Sued For Pressuring Social Media Companies To Remove Misinformation, SCOTUS Ruling/

[bendog]

Unless the social media outlets tell us under pressure of wha,t how do we know, we do know they told them to take down content they didn't like

Aside from "jawboning" I don't see that Alito could find any "strongarming." The WH reminded them of anti-trust, but I don't want all of the media to parrot the same story. But I don't see a concrete threat to do something strictly to punish Facebook for not towing the admin line.

And for god's sake, do you think Reagan's admin didn't complaint to the medial about coverage? Election denial was a smaller facet to the plaintiffs' complaints, but mainly it was about vaccines, covid and masks.

But if any admin actually takes steps to shut down social media that make efforts to vet the "expert" opinion, then ..... well, it sounds Nixonian.

In a good world the media companies tell the government to go pound sand.

But we apparently live in a world full of mockingbirds.

Yes those media companies really told Trump to pound sand when he wanted lies about voting machines.

Wasn't it proven there were govt agents working at these places making decisions on what was censored

Not really and the people behind the ruling had nothing that connected anything the government did to anything that happened to them on social media.

Misinformation is what democrats call facts that hurt their narrative. Kinda like how dems only apply rules to opponents.

If a site says Biden eats kittens,I don’t need that censored on my behalf. It’s an insult . That example may be extreme but libs would finesse the hell out if it for any fact or suggestion they don’t like

Having your account terminated isn't actual harm?

Pretty sure there was solid evidence of such

The FBI Colluded With Twitter to Suppress Free Speech. Where's the Outrage?

We've learned that federal law enforcement must follow the Constitution with the diligence and discipline of a marathon runner in training.

It could be if you were able to show that it was terminated because the government made them do it.

But they weren’t able to show that in court so they have no case.

Not in this specific case.

Another win for the good guys.

Weren't you folks just whining how corrupt the court was? Hypocrites the lot of you.

Before I even read the article I guessed correctly who dissented. Alito and Thomas are givens since they are ideologues in the worst sense of the word, disrespectful of the law. Gorsuch isn't far behind.

That's an opinion piece.

But there's no debate that biden officials were talking to Facebook and Twitter, which were the platforms (you tube too maybe) mainly discussed. The govt has an interest in making sure Americans are not misinformed about a medical issue.
