Biden administration sued over alleged collusion with Big Tech to suppress free speech

 Red States:

On Thursday, the states of Missouri and Louisiana filed suit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana against numerous Biden Administration officials and agencies alleging that they colluded with social media companies to suppress and censor free speech on several topics, including Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell” and the Wuhan lab leak theory surrounding the origins of COVID-19.

Those named as Defendants in the suit include:

  • President Joe Biden
  • Whitehouse Press Secretary Jen Psaki
  • Surgeon General Vivek Murthy
  • the Department of Health and Human Services
  • DHHS Secretary Xavier Becerra
  • the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
  • NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci
  • the Centers for Disease Control
  • the Department of Homeland Security
  • DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas
  • the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency
  • Director of CISA Jen Easterly
  • and last, but not least, Nina Jankowicz, as Director of “the so-called ‘Disinformation Governance Board’ within the Department of Homeland Security”

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, who’s been no stranger to taking on the Biden Administration, announced the suit in a Twitter thread...

Per Schmitt, the Complaint alleges that Biden as a candidate and later, through his administration, “colluded with and pressured social media giants Meta, Twitter, and Youtube to suppress and censor free speech.”  Examples set forth in the suit include Twitter’s censoring of the New York Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop and blocking of other Twitter users from sharing links to the story in October 2020 and Facebook’s (and other platforms’) aggressive censoring of speech concerning the Lab Leak Theory, beginning in February 2020.

In a lengthy tweet thread, Schmitt also details the chronology of interactions between the Biden campaign (and then administration) and social media companies involving “disinformation” and “misinformation.”

The US will be a safer place if they win this case.  It is clear that Democrats are at war with free speech.  It is one reason they are so afraid of Musk's purchase of Twitter.
