ANALYSIS<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 Let Freedom ring! – In a major victory for free speech in America, and a major vindication for conservatives who have been warning of Democrats using the government to censor them on social media, a federal judge is blocking federal agencies from communicating with Big Tech firms to censor posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Democrats using federal agencies and other official political bodies to coerce or direct social media firms is being called government “censorship ‘by proxy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This injunction is particularly heartening to me, since I was a victim of this censorship when LinkedIn permanently banned my account for \u2018multiple violations of their terms of service and user agreement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, I wrote about Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop, the likelihood that COVID-19 leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology biolab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All since proven valid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also noted that there are only two sexes, based on science, and refused to use \u2018preferred gender pronouns.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All these topics were effectively banned by the major social media companies, and as has since been proven via Elon Musk\u2019s \u2018Twitter Files\u2019 expose, and other investigations, much of this banning was done at the behest of the U.S. government, primarily for partisan political or ideological reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the preliminary injunction, appropriately made on July 4th<\/sup>, the judge, Terry A. Doughty, wrote (pdf<\/a>) that: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Opposition to COVID-19 vaccines; opposition to COVID-19 masking and lockdowns; opposition to the lab-leak theory of COVID-19; opposition to the validity of the 2020 election; opposition to President Biden\u2019s policies; statements that the Hunter Biden laptop story was true; and opposition to policies of the government officials in power. All were suppressed.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

He added that government agencies, including the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the U.S. Department of State, the Department of Justice (DOJ), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are prohibited from taking a range of actions related to communicating or dealing with social media companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The judge provided very limited exceptions, allowing government officials to contact social media companies to alert them of criminal activity or clear threats to national security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also allowed, reported<\/a> the Epoch Times: \u201ccontacts notifying social media companies about posts intending to mislead voters about voting requirements or procedures as well as communicating with companies about suppressing posts that are not protected free speech.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decision comes as a response to Republican state attorneys general (AGs) who sued the Biden administration. According to the judge, the AGs \u201chave produced evidence of a massive effort by Defendants, from the White House to federal agencies, to suppress speech based on its content.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey hailed the ruling on Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tweet<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Court has granted our motion to BLOCK top officials in the federal government from violating the First Amendment rights of millions of Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat a way to celebrate Independence Day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an accompanying memorandum Judge Doughty stated that the plaintiffs are \u201clikely to succeed on the merits in establishing that the Government has used its power to silence the opposition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an earlier ruling in March, according to<\/a> The Epoch Times, Doughty wrote: \u201cThis suit arises out of the alleged coercion by the Biden Administration and various government agencies and officials of social-media companies, urging those companies \u2018to censor viewpoints and speakers disfavored by the Left.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that the plaintiffs allege that \u201cthis censorship was encouraged\u2014perhaps even mandated\u2014by the Biden Administration and several key governmental departments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The judge\u2019s current order notes the various nefarious means in which the Biden administration colluded with Big Tech to censor opposing or dissenting views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These means include, per the injunction, \u201cengaging in any communication of any kind with social-media companies urging, encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner for removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Epoch Times reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The agencies are also barred from flagging content on posts on social media platforms and forwarding them to the companies with requests for action such as removing or otherwise suppressing their reach.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Encouraging or otherwise egging on social media companies to change their guidelines for the removal, suppression, or reduction of content that contains protected free speech by the government is also not allowed.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

To prevent Team Biden and other Democrats from circumventing the order by outsourcing their dirty deeds, it specifically applies to agents, officers, employees, and contractors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this is just a preliminary injunction, expect more to come in the fight against Democrat censorship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
