Eric Schmitt, Missouri Attorney General and Jeff Landry, Lousiana AttorneyGeneral sought a preliminary order to stop any alleged collusion with the Biden administration.
Schmitt and Landry filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration and claimed the Biden administration conspired to collaborate with Big Tech companies Meta and Twitter. They claimed they censored the Hunter Biden laptop article, which questioned both the effectiveness and the fraud of mail-in vote castings.
The injunction asked the court to “immediately enter a preliminary injunction targeting the most egregious of Defendants’ practices, which include demanding or urging social- media companies, either overtly or covertly, to censor speakers, content, and viewpoint that the Government disfavors.”
The injunction also requested an expedited discovery phase so the plaintiffs could “discover the full details and scope of Defendants’ social- media-censorship activities.”
Schmitt stated in a press release that the collusion was a violation of freedom speech rights.
“Freedom of speech is the very bedrock of this great nation, and needs to be protected and preserved. The federal government’s alleged attempts to collude with social media companies to censor free speech should terrify Missourians and Americans alike. Recently, my Office filed a lawsuit against the Biden Administration for that alleged collusion, and today we’re filing a motion for preliminary injunction to put a stop to it. We may have forced the Biden Administration to forego its Disinformation Governance Board, but there is still a very real threat to Missourians and Americans’ right to free speech. The federal government must be halted from silencing any more Americans, and this motion for preliminary injunction intends to do just that.”
NewsBusters last month reported that the government threatened to take legal action against companies who refused cooperation.
“Having threatened and cajoled social-media platforms for years to censor viewpoints and speakers disfavored by the Left, senior government officials in the Executive Branch have moved into a phase of open collusion with social-media companies to suppress disfavored speakers, viewpoints, and content on social-media platforms under the Orwellian guise of halting so-called ‘disinformation,’ ‘misinformation,’ and ‘malinformation,’” the lawsuit alleged.
