Summary

Last week, a federal judge ordered the Biden administration to stop strong-arming Big Tech into silencing Americans' free speech online in a first-of-its-kind temporary injunction. Rather than celebrating this move to uphold free speech, many legacy media outlets appear to be demonizing the very idea of protecting speech from government censorship, according to one of the lead attorneys in the case. Liz Murrill, the solicitor general of Louisiana and co-counsel in the case Missouri v. Biden, spoke with The Daily Signal about the "misinformation or disinformation censorship complex" and criticized media outlets for suggesting that this censorship apparatus is a good thing.

silence Americans and it's really shocking the documents that she's revealed that have

0:50.7

been shown in this case and the way that the Biden administration is defending itself,

they're essentially not denying silencing American speech, instead they're saying that

1:02.8

it makes sense because they're fighting misinformation and disinformation.

1:08.4

So there was a really big ruling on this case on July 4th, the most fitting of days,

1:15.3

where the judge said the government cannot be co-worsing big tech to silence Americans

1:20.7

and yet it was narrowly written and it's interesting the Biden administration has said

this ruling was overbroad, but here I should not explain everything.
