In 1984x2024 SCOTUS becomes BIG BROTHER! Authorizes censorship in name of "common good"

[1984X2024]

In the majority opinion, Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote:

During the 2020 election season and the COVID-19 pandemic, social-media platforms frequently removed, demoted, or fact checked posts containing allegedly false or misleading information. At the same time, federal officials, concerned about the spread of “misinformation” on social media, communicated extensively with the platforms about their content-moderation efforts.
The plaintiffs, two States and five social-media users, sued dozens of Executive Branch officials and agencies, alleging that they pressured the platforms to suppress protected speech in violation of the First Amendment. The Fifth Circuit agreed, concluding that the officials’ communications rendered them responsible for the private platforms’ moderation decisions. It then affirmed a sweeping preliminary injunction.
The Fifth Circuit was wrong to do so.

Justice Samuel Alito wrote the dissent, noting that "Victims of the campaign perceived by the lower courts brought this action to ensure that the Government did not continue to coerce social media platforms to suppress speech" and added, "All these victims simply wanted to speak out on a question of the utmost public importance."


Misinformation is that BIG BROTHER says it is.
