Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito Halts Order Restricting Biden Administration’s Communications with Social Media Companies
Justice Alito Temporarily Pauses Ruling on Censorship Practices
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has put a temporary hold on an order that restricts the Biden administration’s ability to communicate with social media companies. This decision comes after lower courts ruled that government officials were engaging in censorship practices.
Alito’s hold on the federal judge’s ruling, which was issued on July 4, was prompted by a request from the Justice Department to stay the decision. The department argued that the ruling violated the First Amendment rights of government officials and hindered their duties.
The preliminary injunction will only be in effect until 11:59 p.m. on September 22, as stated in Alito’s order. Responses to the government’s application are due on September 20.
The lawsuit, known as Missouri v. Biden, was filed last year by former Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry. They alleged that the federal government colluded with social media giants like Twitter and Meta to suppress freedom of speech.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
