WATCH: Court Hands Down MAJOR Ruling On Free Speech!

This has major implications for free speech.

According to a recent injunction from Judge Terry A. Doughty, the Biden administration likely violated the First Amendment by colluding with Big tech companies to censor ‘misinformation.’

As a result, the court has temporarily blocked the Biden administration, the FBI, DOJ, and other federal agencies from contacting, or otherwise, directing big tech companies to censor.

While it must be stressed that this injunction is temporary, it does provide some insight into what is likely to transpire in the future.

It also cannot be ignored that this injunction was issued on this particular day—Happy 4th of July my fellow Americans! Let freedom ring.

Here’s what everyone is saying:

Senator Eric Schmitt celebrated, “A Federal Judge in Missouri v. Biden just granted a preliminary injunction prohibiting the FBI, DOJ, DHS & other agencies from working with Big Tech to censor on social media. Big win for the First Amendment on this Independence Day. I’m proud to have led the fight.”

Journalist Brian Cates offered this interesting theory: “The feds figured out MOTHS ago they were going lose Missouri v Biden. It’s why the UniParty members in Congress quickly threw together the RESTRICT ACT to ‘legalize’ all the illegal shit they’d been doing. The ‘Tik-Tok ban’ was a TROJAN HORSE.”

THIS IS CORRECT.

The feds figured out MOTHS ago they were going lose Missouri v Biden.

It’s why the UniParty members in Congress quickly threw together the RESTRICT ACT to **legalize** all the illegal shit they’d been doing.

Jeffrey A Tucker provided this quote: “During the COVID-19 pandemic, a period perhaps best characterized by widespread doubt and uncertainty, the United States Government seems to have assumed a role similar to an Orwellian “Ministry of Truth.”

Previously, Bill Rice Jr wrote to explain why he believed Missouri V Biden may be the most important court case in history:

Laymen and legal scholars alike agree that the First Amendment does not compel any publisher to print any and all speech.

For example, a private company like The New York Times can publish, or not publish, whatever speech it wants for whatever reason it wants.

The issue in this case is whether citizens living in the “town square” can use Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc. to share their opinions or facts.

Or, more specifically, can the government use its immense power to compel private companies to censor speech the government doesn’t like (speech labeled by the government as dangerous, extremist, false or basically “misinformation” or “disinformation” as the government defines these terms). …

The core issue at stake is should American citizens be allowed to have genuine “freedom of speech.”
