federal judge in Louisiana on Tuesday specifically barred President Joe Biden’s press secretary from colluding with corporate tech giants to censor Americans’ speech.
In a preliminary injunction handed down on July 4, Judge Terry Doughty, chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, implemented restrictions on collusion between the Biden White House and social media companies. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was among the more than three dozen administration officials specifically named who are now prohibited from engaging in collaborative censorship.
Republican attorneys general in Louisiana and Missouri filed the lawsuit last year claiming White House efforts to get major online platforms to censor certain speech about Covid-19 vaccines, among other things, were unconstitutional.
Two years ago, Biden’s then-Press Secretary Jen Psaki bragged about the administration’s relationship with major platforms. She told reporters the Biden administration was often “flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation.”
“We are in regular touch with these social media platforms and those engagements typically happen through members of our senior staff, but also members of our COVID-19 team,” Psaki said from the White House podium, and later doubled down on the corporate-government collusion.
Psaki’s immediate successor, Jean-Pierre, added in November that the White House was keeping a “close eye” on “misinformation” on Twitter.
“We have always been very clear that when it comes to social media platforms it is their responsibility to make sure that when it comes to misinformation, when it comes to the hate that we’re seeing, that they take action, that they continue to take action,” Jean-Pierre said. “Again, we’re all keeping a close eye on this.”
In Tuesday’s preliminary ruling, Judge Doughty cited the “substantial evidence” presented to the court of a “far-reaching and widespread censorship campaign” to warrant the injunction.
“During the COVID-19 pandemic, a period perhaps best characterized by widespread doubt and uncertainty, the United States Government seems to have assumed a role similar to an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth,’” Doughty wrote.
“If the allegations made by plaintiffs are true, the present case arguably involves the most massive attack against free speech in United States’ history,” the Trump-appointed judge added. “In their attempts to suppress alleged disinformation, the Federal Government, and particularly the Defendants named here, are alleged to have blatantly ignored the First Amendment’s right to free speech.”
Jean-Pierre, along with dozens of administration officials, is now explicitly prohibited from colluding with social media companies “for the purpose of urging, encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner the removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech posted on social-media platforms.”
With exceptions for posts involving content such as criminal activity or threats, the White House may no longer flag posts for censorship or pressure companies to suppress users’ free speech.
Several executive agencies are also banned from engaging in the same conduct, including the Department of Health and Human Services, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Census Bureau, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of State, the Department of Justice, and the FBI.
Jean-Pierre was pressed in February by Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich on previously labeling those who suggested the novel coronavirus came from a Chinese lab as “conspiracy theorists.”
Democrats favor the censorship because they truly hate to see the truth about their corrupt and degenerate party and ideology.
Nothing that comes from the biden regime is to be believed ever.
I wonder if they can provide an example of disinformation, misinformation or malinformation they stopped that wasn’t, in reality, the truth? Something like that might help the fascist’s argument to honestly police information. Otherwise, it only appears they strive to suppress facts that are not helpful to the Democrats and left.
Your social media bullshit about COVID vaccine and masks killed untold thousands. Your climate change denial could burn down the planet. Your “Putin good/Biden bad” stupidity has empowered a lunatic bent on restoring the Russian empire. Trump’s “stolen election” scam led to violence and threatens American democracy and the rule of law. Your fundamentalist anti-choice propaganda deprived women of control over their own bodies and totally disregards differing religious views, in blatant violation of the First Amendment. Your fear mongering has driven an explosion in firearm sales, while your drivel about the meaning of the Second Amendment has put an assault weapon in the hands every like-minded lunatic who’s ready to pop his cork. Right-wing jackasses have even used social media to deny that the mass murder of school children occurred.
Corporate America has put a mind-control device in the pocket of every fool who lacks the ability to distinguish between truth and lies, and a conservative judge has stated the government should be powerless curtail proven lies and disinformation. Putin trolls can whisper in your ears without interference.
Who was it who said, “Masks don’t work?” FAUCI.
Who said the vaccine would protect users for a year, then shortened that to 9 months, later to 6 months, later to 3 months, later to not at all very much for very long but…. FAUCI.
Meanwhile, who set up the hospital protocol that added Remdisavir to opiods and put people on ventilators? FAUCI. (Talk about killing thousands.) https://www.brightworkresearch.com/how-the-nih-and-hospitals-used-remdesivir-to-quickly-kill-covid-patients/
Who has been sneakily removing “Covid Vaccine side effect,” as the cause of death from Death Certificates? The CDC. https://pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/2023/07/05/cdc-altered-death-certificates-to-remove-covid-vaccine-as-cause-n1708305
Do you know the date of the interview? It was posted to YouTube over 3 years ago. It wasn’t confirmed by the CDC that airborne transmission of the virus was taking place until October 2020. Asymptomatic transmission wasn’t confirmed until the following year. At that point they got very serious about mask protocol, realizing one sneeze by an infected person in a confined public space could infect anyone else present. Have you forgotten there was so much contagion that hospitals were pushed to the breaking point?
Common sense should tell anyone that masks reduce the likelihood of aerosol transmission. Unfortunately common sense in America has been trumped by political propaganda.
It was clearly shown masks do NOTHING to stop transmission. In fact, it may have made transmission easier. Democrats were in the disinformation business and they tried to suppress any information that threatened their means of control.
Too much logic there for you to handle, I guess. WHAT WAS THE DATE OF THE INTERVIEW?
You always have an excuse, and a flimsy one at that.
When I read your posts, I now truly know how the holocaust happened.
Useful idiots like you being used by an evil regime.
Even with the small amount of intelligence you exhibit you must agree biden has been a terrible disaster for America.
He has done nothing to better the lives of the citizenry or the country in general. biden can be summed up as an epic failure.
Will you now admit he is the worst possible person to run this country?
No, that was NEVER shown, and it’s totally contrary to common sense. Your motives for pushing crap about masks and vaccine were political, and resulted in thousands of unnecessary deaths.

Why did Joe shower with his adolescent daughter?
Why wasn’t the homeless wiped out? I would be very interested to know the infection rate among them. Quite strange.
Numerous studies done with and without masks clearly showed there is no benefit. It was all fear-inducing and many of those with actual brains figured it out pretty quickly. Show me were masks stopped the spread. Show me where the vaccine stopped the spread. Show me where firing people for not wanting to take the vaccine slowed the spread.
Why are you providing no links to these studies? I’ve never seen a single one that wasn’t seriously flawed.
Because there are several already posted here that you will ignore. Flawed, how? By not arriving at your preconceived conclusions? I really don’t care if you or anyone else wants to wear a mask. When I see one now, I just tell myself they are undergoing cancer treatment instead of thinking they are just a deluded dumbass.
Tell us about it.
Remember this piece of shit
It’s apparently living between your ears. It’s part of the crap your preferred social media pours into your head. That’s the only place I’ve ever seen it.
False. The degeneration of our nation by way of policies and beliefs you push here are national news.
That you are living in a regime-held echo chamber merely means you have no idea what you are talking about.
Why do you keep posting this crap? Nobody who’s normal wants to see it.
What, Comrade Greggie; you don’t like the pictures of members of your party, the Democrats?
https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/13/politics/sam-brinton-department-of-energy/index.html
Anyone who collects and posts such photos is obviously a pervert.
Here’s your pervert, Huckleberry:
Biden’s Monkeypox Adviser: ‘Embrace’ Anonymous Gay Orgies ‘With Joy’ (dailysignal.com)
The bidens are a sick pack of feral dogs.
It is not necessary to collect these images. They are readily available because of the lefts normalization of perversion.
You mean, like the people IN the photos? Like idiot Biden’s regime and family? THEM?
Hey… dumbass. This is what is going on at this degenerate’s White House. Now coke found there. What’s next, a heroin rig is found in the nuclear football? This place is a total f**king embarrassment to every American that has pride in our nation. The White House is a crime scene.
Why is the crack addict piece of shit son of biden in the people’s WH when he should be in prison?
This used to be a forum where intelligent discussion took place. You’ve reduced it to a site for hate filled sh*t-throwing monkeys. Look at what you’re posting.
That is because you come here meathead. Without you here it is a thriving forum where intelligent discussion takes place. Your presence given you come from an ideology that promotes degradation, only serves to lower the discourse here.
In your absence none of what you described is here. It is you that brings out the worst much like biden. Don’t you get it?
Perversion resides in the democrat party.
I’m not responsible for what you post. You are. People are responsible for their own words and deeds.
You’re posting trash. Degenerate garbage, for your own consumption. No one else wants to see it.
You are wrong for if it were that you did not waste your time here, you would not be the subject of degeneracy. You bring that baggage here and as a consequence debauchery becomes the core of what you represent as a degenerate democrat. It is obvious you simply do not understand the projection you give way to as a member of an ideology that embraces everything degenerate with a satanic cult like the political party you promote.
Well, now we have to discuss the idiot Biden regime and the Biden crime spree, so that changes the character of the discussions. Idiot Biden, his family, his associates and his regime are SCUM.
There’s a large part of your problem, and you have a really big problem. First, idiot Biden puts a mentally ill person that not only thinks he is a woman, but also sometimes thinks he is a puppy dog, in charge of handling nuclear waste. OK, as if that wasn’t bad enough, it turns out this mental case likes to steal luggage and wear other women’s clothes. He gets arrested for stealing thousands of dollars worth of clothes and luggage.
And you’ve heard nothing of it. You just KEEP yourself stupid. Intentionally.
Golly… I’m not exactly sure how to break this too you, but you just made my point for me. Some of what you listed are mere opinions, but MOST of what you listed has been proven TRUE. And, as that was being suppressed, your fascist leftists were suppressing information that was also true; the virus came from a lab leak, ivermectin and HCQ were effective, the left was LYING about Russian collusion and Russian disinformation, the vaccine was KILLING people, who didn’t need to be taking the vaccine in the first place. How about “mostly peaceful” violent leftist terrorist destruction, assaults and murders? So on and so forth.
In short, Democrats want to censor the truth so they can spread their lies. That’s not a “conspiracy theory”; it’s what they’ve been doing, and it’s been PROVEN.
Speech is protected by the 1st amendment in America. It might not be wherever the the hell it is you bang away on a keyboard.
That speech includes lying and telling falsehoods. You people not only do not like the 2nd amendment, you abhor the 1st because you cannot control the elements of the amendment. You have revealed yourselves as authoritarians with no appreciation of the freedoms we exercise.
It would be so much better for America if you would cease to exist.
Just stop with the climate change BS. The day Obama and Gore begin to live a life of low carbon emissions maybe they will have a chance at being believable. In the meantime the climate cult needs to get better at predictions.

Plenty more available. Here’s just one more example.

Oh, yeah… climate change and all that nonsense about late term abortion killing babies. Greg lets out that what the left wants to suppress is free speech, especially when it exposes Democrat lies and corruption. Meanwhile, has Greg or any other leftist expressed outrage over being made total idiotic fools by the liars they hold in such esteem?

My neighbor showed me her phone where gov’t OK’ed “news” was all she could find (easily.)
Ivermectin was still being touted as “horse paste,” in June of 2022.
Her four shots, the two original ones and two “boosters,” rendered her “immune” from catching covid.
And, she couldn’t spread it if she did catch it.
And, her version would be much lighter than an unvaxxed, like me.
Well, only being MUGGED BY REALITY moved her off these lies.
She caught covid at a concert where only tested and vaxxed people could attend.
Her sickness was severe and is still plaguing her to this day.
She now has a stash of ivermectin.
AND, she’s even taking Nattokinese to help her system rid itself of all the spike proteins that had caused her headaches, body paralysis, fatigue.
Also, she’s ditched her phone and it’s approved news sites for a computer and a more fair/balanced search engine.
