NEW: Biden Admin Sued for Allegedly ‘Colluding’ with Big Tech

Missouri and Louisiana sued the Biden administration for their alleged collusion with Big Tech firms.

Fox News reported that the lawsuit claimed that the Biden administration “pressured and colluded” with companies like Facebook and Twitter to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story. Plaintiffs claimed that stories discussing the origins and fraud of mail-in ballots were also suppressed.

The suit named the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Department of Homeland Security, Nina Jankowicz in her official capacity as director of the “Disinformation Governance Board,” and others as defendants. 

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry alleged that the censorship occurred “‘under the guise of combating misinformation’ in order to achieve greater censorship,” Fox reported. Schmitt and Landry issued a press release that further explained their complaint.

The lawsuit also alleged that the Biden administration “coerced, threatened, and pressured social media platforms to censor disfavored speakers and viewpoints by using threats of adverse government action,” according to the article.

“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 pleading said.

Schmitt told Fox NewsThe lawsuit was filed to preserve free speech.

“In direct contravention to the First Amendment and freedom of speech, the Biden Administration has been engaged in a pernicious campaign to both pressure social media giants to censor and suppress speech and work directly with those platforms to achieve that censorship in a misguided and Orwellian campaign against ‘misinformation,’” he told Fox News.

He added, “I won’t stand by as the Biden Administration attempts trample upon the First Amendment Rights of Missourians and Americans,”

Landry claimed that Big Tech companies acted as “an extension” of the Biden administration.

“Big Tech has become an extension of Biden’s Big Government, and neither are protecting the freedoms of Americans; rather, they are suppressing truth and demonizing those who think differently,” Landry told Fox News. Biden, ripped from Stalin’s playbook and his ilk has been working with Big Tech in order to suppress free speech and proliferate the masses. We will fight to defend the rule and prohibit the government from unconstitutional banning and chilling speech and stifling it.

Further, the suit referred to YouTube’s censorship Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Florida Governor. Ron DeSantis and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) were also cited in the suit. They criticized cloth masks for their effectiveness at fighting COVID-19. They also said that Trump’s campaign and former president were targeted. 

“Notoriously,” it was stated, adding that social-media platforms had aggressively blocked core political speech from then-President Trump. The Trump campaign also raised concerns over the security of mail voting in the period leading up to the election.
