Judge Orders Biden Officials to Limit Contact With Social-Media Companies

From a Wall Street Journal story by Jacob Gershman headlined “Judge Orders Biden Officials to Limit Contact With Social-Media Companies”:

A federal judge issued a broad preliminary injunction limiting the federal government from communicating with social-media companies about online content, ruling that Biden administration officials’ policing of social-media posts likely violated the First Amendment.

In a 155-page ruling issued Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty of Louisiana barred White House officials and multiple federal agencies from contacting social-media companies with the purpose of suppressing political views and other speech normally protected from government censorship.
