A WIN for freedom of speech? Federal judge says the Biden administration may have violated the First Amendment during the pandemic
Finally somebody has brought to light what many of us have known for a long time.
The unapologetic censorship that took place on social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook during the COVID-19 pandemic is now being flagged as unconstitutional.
Why it took this long, we may never know.
Regardless, Terry Doughty, a federal judge in Louisiana, “blocked officials and agencies in the Biden administration from communicating with social media companies — think Facebook, Google, Twitter — about the topic of protected speech,” David Spunt of Fox News reports.
“What this judge just did with this temporary injunction is fantastic,” Rubin says.
“We know that the CIA, the FBI, the intelligence agencies ... were working with tech companies” during the pandemic.
“We now know through the 'Twitter Files' that there were eight government agents literally working at Twitter ... God only knows how many of them work at Facebook and YouTube,” he continues.
“Once a government agent is doing something with a big tech organization to censor you or to imply censorship,” your constitutional right to free speech has been violated, Rubin explains.
But again, many of us have known this for a long time. However, the fact that something is finally being done about it is certainly worth celebrating.
