SCOTUS SCOTUS allows government to request removal of misinformation on social media, Court strikes down a lower court ruling 6-3, permitting government to call on platforms to remove falsehoods (www.theguardian.com)

I don't think this was a good ruling. The conservative judges are in the minority opinion.

The US supreme court has struck down a lower court ruling in the case of Murthy v Missouri, finding that the government’s communications with social media platforms about Covid-19 misinformation did not violate the first amendment. The court’s decision permits the government to call on tech companies to remove falsehoods and establishes boundaries around free speech online.

So a government can be aware they are 100% incorrect, yet when they blatantly violate a citizens God given right to free speech, even when that person is correct, the Supreme Court said it's ok because the government said the word "misinformation"? Did it occur to them that THE GOVERNMENT IS THE SOURCE OF THE MISINFORMATION. How in the fuck do you arrive at such a retarded conclusion ?

If they didn't rule due to "lack of standing"....lol. I mean what the fuck would a person with standing look like? traitorous cunts with no spine. So the citizens of the country some fucking how lack standing when it comes to Free Speech and clearly fraudulent elections?

hard not to be blackpilled by this. there is no institution left worth saving.

When it was all proven that, yes indeed, the gov can phone up zuck, and tell him whose accounts they need to be removed. SCOTUS comes around and affirms, yup, it's all okay.

It's not any question that this is happening, it's just been made legal.
