Fifth Circuit Corrects Critical Error In Prior Ruling To Shut Down Deep-State Censorship Tactic
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals expanded the size and scope of its injunction against the government’s central censorship arm.The district court therefore disarmed the speech police by ordering a wide-ranging preliminary injunction, prohibiting federal authorities from coercing and coordinating with platforms to suppress ever-growing categories of disfavored speech during the pendency of the case.
This incensed the feds, who proceeded to appeal the decision to the Fifth Circuit, ironically arguing that by being barred from censoring disfavored speech by social media proxy, the government itself was being censored.
The Fifth Circuit wasn’t buying that argument.
