Supreme Court backs Biden administration in social media case<\/a><\/p>\n

Held: Neither the individual nor the state plaintiffs have established Article III standing to seek an injunction against any defendant.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>
\n[In other words, we aren’t going to rule on this because…..reasons. So the federal goobermint can go right ahead and keep on doing this slimy crap]<\/p>\n

Respondents are two States and five individual social-media users
\nwho sued dozens of Executive Branch officials and agencies, alleging
\nthat the Government pressured the platforms to censor their speech in
\nviolation of the First Amendment.<\/p>\n

Following extensive discovery, the District Court issued a preliminary injunction. The Fifth Circuit affirmed in part and reversed in part. The court held that both the state plaintiffs and the individual plaintiffs had Article III standing to seek injunctive relief.<\/p>\n

On the merits, the court held that the Government entities and officials, by \u201ccoerc[ing]\u201d or \u201csignificantly encourag[ing]\u201d the platforms\u2019 moderation decisions, transformed those decisions into state action. The court then modified the District Court\u2019s injunction to state that the defendants shall not coerce or significantly encourage social-media companies to suppress protected speech on their platforms.<\/strong><\/p>\n
