Gov’t Can Continue Colluding With Big Tech, 5th Circuit Grants “Administrative Stay” of Injunction

It’s not a decision on the merits, it puts a temporary hold until the court can determine the merits of the District Court injunction that prohibited government collusion with big tech and big social media to silence and censor political opponents.

After a groundbreaking and momentus District Court injunction against the government colluding with big tech and big social media to silence and censor political opponents, the government sought a stay pending appeal, including an emergency administratrive stay pending briefing, Government Seeks Stay Of Injunction Against Censorship Collusion With Big Tech.

The Fifth Circuit just granted an administrative stay:

IT IS ORDERED that this appeal is EXPEDITED to the next available Oral Argument Calendar.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a temporary administrative stay is GRANTED until further orders of the court.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Appellants’ opposed motion for stay pending appeal is deferred to the oral argument merits panel which receives this case.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
The government says it is okay to keep colluding with 'big tech' to continue censoring stuff.

After all, the government knows best, right?

And if you say otherwise, they'll censor you.

Lovely.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
