"Federal Judge Limits Biden Administration's Interaction with Social Media Platforms"

A federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction forbidding the Biden administration from communicating with social media platforms about "protected free speech" and "viewpoint discrimination" for the purpose of removing it. The judge's ruling comes as a result of a lawsuit filed by Republican attorneys general and private parties who claim that the federal government colluded with social media companies to censor political speech. The order blocks government agencies and officials from working with outside groups that monitor and research speech on social media platforms. The Biden administration is likely to appeal the injunction.
