*FEDERAL JUDGE BLOCKS BIDEN ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS FROM CONTACTING SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES TO CENSOR INFORMATION
WASHINGTON -A U.S. federal judge on Tuesday restricted some agencies and officials of the administration of President Joe Biden from meeting and communicating with social media companies to moderate their content, according to a court filing.
The ruling said government agencies like the Department of Health and Human Services and the FBI could not talk to 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" under the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.
The litigation was originally filed by former Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry. Schmitt, who was elected to the U.S. Senate in November, used Twitter to welcome the injunction and called it a win for free speech.
