Biden won his American censorship appeal.
The United States Court of Appeals, 5th Circuit, will allow the executive agencies to talk to Big Tech again with the goal of censoring Americans’ speech. The Appeals court temporarily lifted a federal judge’s order blocking several government agencies and officials from contacting Big Tech.
The Biden administration went judge shopping to a three-judge panel of the New Orleans 5th Circuit. They issued the stay.
The stay is until “further orders” when oral arguments are given on August 10th.
How it this even a question?

BACKGROUND
A Federal Judge in Missouri v. Biden granted a preliminary injunction prohibiting the FBI, DOJ, DHS, and other agencies from working with Big Tech to censor social media. It’s a big win for the First Amendment on Independence Day.
The entire government censored Americans. They censored highly respected doctors during the pandemic, and no one is allowed to question the election or the war that has us on the brink of nuclear devastation.
Federal Judge Terry Doughty issued a broad injunction against the Biden administration from censoring online content in a 155-page ruling issued ten days before.
How Do People Like KJP Have the Right to Censor Americans?
Officials affected by this ruling include Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, Jen Easterly, who heads the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and dozens of other Department of Justice and FBI employees.
“Email chains between high-ranking White House officials and social media platforms specifically targeting certain individuals such as Robert Kennedy Jr, Tucker Carlson, Tomi Lahren, and others — directly targeting them and asking those social media platforms to take their content down,” disclosed Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry.
“We also saw from the FBI evidence which showed that they knew the Hunter Biden laptop to be factual and yet didn’t tell the social media platforms that as well. So there are a number of things that as we uncovered information in the discovery process of this case that was shocking to us.”
The Biden administration wants to keep censoring Americans they disagree with. Consequently, they appealed the preliminary injunction on Wednesday and won on Friday. The injunction prevented federal officials from communicating with social media platforms to censor protected speech content.
That brings us up to date.
When Big Government colludes with Big Tech to violate the right to free speech of the American people, we are no longer citizens; we become subjects. pic.twitter.com/U1k2KhW24R
