An injunction by a federal judge in Missouri accused the government of suppressing free speech by “clogging” dissent on issues like COVID-19 vaccines and the 2020 election. Allegedly, they resorted to social networks with a request for the removal of such expressions.
However, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals suspended the judge’s decision, allowing a higher court to hear the case in its entirety.
The ban prevented a number of government agencies from interacting with social media platforms. However, exceptions have been made in matters related to national security, election security, cybersecurity and public safety.
The Supreme Court’s decision provides for the temporary suspension of the ban while the case is pending.
