Supreme Court rejects claim that Biden administration coerced social media companies over misinformation

The Supreme Court has rejected a case claiming the Biden administration illegally coerced social media platforms into taking down posts about Covid-19 and the 2020 election that were considered misinformation.

The three most conservative justices opposed the decision, with Justice Samuel Alito publishing a blistering dissent that spanned 34 pages, where he wrote that this may be "one of the most important free speech cases to reach this court in years". The plaintiffs had argued federal officials pressured - or "jawboned" - the companies into suppressing speech that the government did not agree with, mainly about the coronavirus pandemic. They pointed to the platforms pushing down posts or suspending accounts after communicating with the White House.

She was joined by the three liberal members of the court along with Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
