"Biden State Dept. Accused of Funding Tech to Censor Conservative News Outlets, Lawsuit Alleges"

The State Department is facing a lawsuit filed by the New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA) for allegedly funding and promoting censorship technologies that blacklist conservative news outlets, including The Federalist and The Daily Wire. The lawsuit claims that these technologies negatively impact the platforms' ability to circulate and distribute their publications, as well as obtain advertisers. The NCLA argues that the State Department's actions violate the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees freedom of speech and freedom of the press. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.
