The Supreme Court on Wednesday threw out claims that the Biden administration unlawfully coerced social media companies into removing contentious content.

In reaching its conclusion, the court overturned an injunction that would have limited contacts between government officials and social media companies on a wide range of issues if allowed to go into effect. The Supreme Court had previously put the injunction on hold.

The court on a 6-3 vote found that plaintiffs did not have standing to sue.

    do you seriously think this is and will always be about actual misinformation, and not pro-palestine speech and similar things?

    No. That’s why the Supreme Court exists. If it wasn’t about actual misinformation and just removing speech the administration didn’t like then the Supreme Court could reverse the action. This is literally how the government is supposed to work.
