To put it in layman's terms, the case centered around the government pressuring (coercion) the social media companies to censor speech and ban those who spoke against what our woke government believed and supported.
In other words, restricting speech, the government did not like through the social media companies.
The first court agreed that the government was guilty and had to stop. The decision was appealed, and while on appeal, the first court's decision was put on hold.
If the Supreme Court decides against the government, then the most likely decision is the government will be prevented from forcing social media companies to censor our speech. A VERY GOOD THING!
This can be a very meaningful case.
I very much appreciate the detailed explanation.
But what does this mean?
” I think it is likely that the preliminary injunction stayed by the Supreme Court will be vacated and that the Fifth Circuit decision will be reversed. “
Did the Fifth Circuit vote in favor of the gov’t? Or the 1A?
I don’t think it’s an understatement to say this case could historically be in the same category as Roe v. Wade, Brown v Board of Education, etc..
In this case, the Government was coercing or using social media companies to censor free speech it doesn’t approve on, the Government worked hand in hand to censor Covid information, Vaccine Information and many other examples.
The twitter files showed this conclusively.
If the government thru social media companies is allowed to censor anything they don’t like, then the 1st Amendment will be null and void.
This case is the first case before the Supreme Court in the Technological age of the Government Censoring Free Speech by using proxies and if allowed to happen free speech will be dead.
Thank you for the explanation.
Too bad you won’t make any money off of it. Unlike the blogger that wrote the article “explaining” the court’s activities.
