What’s wrong with protecting disinformation by blocking a bunch of Biden administration agencies and officials from communicating with social media companies about it?
The answer to that question is found right in the 155-page memo issued last week by federal judge Terry A. Doughty, along with his preliminary injunction. Doughty’s ruling was in response to a lawsuit brought by Missouri Gov. Mike Parson’s appointed attorney general, Andrew Bailey, and Bailey’s Louisiana counterpart, Daniel Cameron. The suit accuses President Joe Biden and a long list of others of violating the First Amendment’s free speech protections.
Doughty, a Donald Trump appointee in Louisiana whose oeuvre also includes blocking the vaccine mandate for health care workers, says the case “arguably involves the most massive attack against Free Speech in United States’ history.”
