Things are looking tough for the fed's censorship police in court

Federal officials love censoring people. To be fair, every government does and has since man has walked the Earth.
That’s why the Founders wrote the First Amendment, and it is no accident that it came first in the Bill of Rights, followed closely by the right to keep and bear arms. There is no freedom at all if there is no freedom to think and speak as one will.
Only July 4th–obviously not a date chosen by accident–District Court Judge Terry Doughty slapped a restraining order on the government prohibiting its collusion with social media companies to censor Americans’ speech. The injunction stemmed from a lawsuit by Missouri and Louisiana demanding that the federal government stop pressuring social media companies to shut Americans up on issues.
The Biden Administration is deeply upset that they are losing one of the key tools they have to impose a false consensus. They already functionally control most of the MSM and social media is one of the few places that alternative viewpoints can be propagated. With the 2024 election right around the corner, the government is concerned that not everybody will be forced to hail Joe Biden as a loving father and savior of American democracy.
