Document dump in Biden-Tech collusion suit reveals 'massive, sprawling' censorship

Even as President Biden warns the nation of the "extremist threat to our democracy" from Republicans in this fall's elections, new evidence suggests a much wider campaign by his administration to sic Big Tech on critics than previously thought, going so far as removing a parody of Biden's chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci.
quote:
The First Amendment lawsuit by Republican attorneys general and a civil liberties group against Biden, Fauci and several other high-level officials has revealed a "massive, sprawling federal 'Censorship Enterprise'" related to COVID-19 and elections, the plaintiffs said in a 711-page "joint statement on discovery disputes." "If there was ever any doubt the federal government was behind censorship of Americans who dared to dissent from official Covid messaging, that doubt has been erased" by what the defendants have already turned over, New Civil Liberties Alliance lawyer Jenin Younes said. The Justice Department cited its 15,000-page document production to oppose the "anything but reasonably tailored" discovery requests by Missouri's Eric Schmitt, Louisiana's Jeff Landry and NCLA, which DOJ called "grossly disproportionate" to this stage of litigation. Twitter, Facebook and Instagram parent Meta, Google's YouTube and LinkedIn provided information separately. The "defendants' position" left out the elephant in the room: the likelihood of even greater harm to Democratic prospects if sensitive communications including Fauci and White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre are required to be divulged before the midterms. Schmitt is the GOP nominee for retiring Sen. Roy Blunt's seat.

Michael Chertoff was put forth as the replacement but I don’t know what came of it

Is anyone really caught off-guard by this discovery?

The significance of this needs to be stated. If these companies are acting in coordination with the federal govt to censor or otherwise limit free speech, they can no longer be protected with the standard “well they are a private entity”.

Lefties see no problem with this fascistic government-business coordination and collusion to control the narrative. By any means necessary.
And they call MAGA the cultists, smh.

Freedom of speech being restricted by the US government and the left LOVES IT.
So sad what the left has become. All in the name of politics too. They will cheer ANYTHING that they think gives them the upper hand in elections.
This is why they have gone so far off the reservation. They never have ANYONE on their side push back and say "I disagree" or "that's too much". When there is no push back there is no reason to stop.
It's a sad state of affairs on the left these days and the lemmings who can't think and just agree with everything are clueless idiots.

You'd think the people who were forever buying into and throwing out that ridiculous canard would feel really stupid about right now.
But, that's no longer the world we are in. They will just grasp for an latch onto the next talking point as they are dutifully instructed.

It’s a bigger threat to democracy than anything Trump has done.

They really can’t untangle themselves now. How many conservatives have been deplatformed? How many have been barred from using services like PayPal? Just yesterday google refused to list Truth Social in the App Store… I predict a wave of lawsuits will soon be incoming seeking damages.

Parody and satire has always been the best tool of the common man, and that tool has been dulled, if not completely blunted and taken away.
It’s one of the few things NOLA gets right, and I believe why the city, even amidst historical crime and corruption, still allows a palatable existence.
Things may suck, but at least we can point and laugh at the political and social elite.
