Fifth Circuit to look at more agencies accused of censorship

 Daily Caller:

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed Monday to consider expanding its injunction barring the Biden administration from coercing or significantly encouraging social media companies to censor speech to include other entities it initially excluded.

The three federal judges who ruled earlier this month that the White House, Surgeon General, CDC and FBI violated the First Amendment agreed Monday to the plaintiff’s request that they rehear the case and consider extending the injunction to other agencies, which they previously said the district court “erred” in including.

The plaintiffs requested the court reinstate the injunction to include the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and State Department officials, along with reinstating portions of the district court’s injunction preventing government officials from collaborating with the private-sector partners including the Election Integrity Partnership and Virality Project.

“CISA, in particular, serves as the ‘nerve center’ of federal censorship efforts, and its actions in originating, launching, coordinating, and participating in the EIP constitute particularly egregious violations of the First Amendment,” plaintiffs told the court last week.

The censorship of the Biden regime pushed a false and misleading narrative and tried to limit the speech of those who rightly disagreed with it.  The Biden team engaged in just the kind of conduct the 1st Amendment was intended to restrict. 

BTW, the FBI was found to have been successful at censoring speech about 50 % of the time.
