SCOTUS sides with BIDEN in censorship case to prevent ‘grave harm’
The Supreme Court has ruled that the Biden administration may coordinate with social media companies to censor viewpoints it deems dangerous.
“We all know the Biden regime is not going to censor leftists,” Sara Gonzales says, frustrated by the ruling.
This decision from Murthy v. Missouri saw state attorneys general who accused government officials of working with social media companies under the guise of combating misinformation and disinformation. The AGs argued that officials suppressed discussions on Hunter Biden’s laptop, COVID-19 origins, and vaccine efficacy.
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals had sided with the plaintiffs on the grounds of the First Amendment.
The Justice Department then argued that the temporary ban of this “public private partnership” would cause irreparable harm because it may prevent the federal government from working with social media companies to prevent “grave harm” to the American people and the democratic process.
SCOTUS indirectly agreed with the Justice Department by reversing the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals' decision. Only Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch dissented.
They claimed that a “review of extensive government social media communications is outside of the Court’s scope,” that “allegations of past censorship are not enough to prove future censorship,” and that “injuries claimed by plaintiffs are indirect and anticipatory.”
The timing couldn’t be worse for conservatives.
“This is not really the decision that you want, walking into an election as a conservative, where like all but one of the social media platforms very much want to censor your opinion,” Gonzales says.
“The reasons that they argue that these plaintiffs lack standing just seem to be the most convoluted bogus reasons in my opinion. How can you say that past actions are not proof of future actions? Like the Biden regime has a very clear record of pressuring social media companies, Big Tech platforms to censor conservatives,” she adds.

SUSPICIOUS: WikiLeaks DNC archive vanishes shortly after Julian Assange’s sweet plea deal
Right after Julian Assange — founder of WikiLeaks who’s responsible for one of the biggest government leaks in U.S. history — took a plea deal that resulted in his freedom, the entire archive of 20,000 leaked DNC emails suddenly disappeared.
Coincidence?
Glenn Beck thinks not.
Could This WikiLeaks ‘Server Error’ Be Connected to Julian Assange’s Secret Plea Deal?youtu.be
“My Spidey senses are tingling,” he says.
How is it possible that someone who “just plead guilty to espionage” walks away a free man?
“Espionage is a really big deal,” says Glenn, adding that the crime “can actually carry a death penalty,” making Assange’s plea deal look remarkably “magnanimous.”
While Biden, per his typical character, has denied having anything to do with Assange’s freedom, Glenn finds it “hard to believe,” considering the deal “was made in secret.”
According to a report by the New York Times, “A secret hearing paved the way for [Assange’s] release. In the end, the choreographed, multinational dance that led to his release took place behind closed doors at a secret bail hearing in London last Thursday, according to British officials.”
If that wasn’t suspicious enough, “The X account @endwokeness noticed something odd early, early this morning ... all 20,000 leaked DNC emails have just been removed from Wikileaks,” which they speculate “is part of the deal with Biden's DOJ.”
“My team did verify that while other hack archives on WikiLeaks are still up, including Hillary Clinton's emails, when you click on the DNC archive, it does produce a server error,” says Glenn, showing the white screen with “Internal Server Error” displayed at the top.
“Is this proof the DOJ coerced Assange to cover up their embarrassing secrets in exchange for his freedom?” asks Glenn.
What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.
