Two States Sue Biden & Psaki for ‘Colluding’ with Big Tech to Bury Negative Stories

Two Republican-led states, Missouri and Louisiana, have filed a lawsuit against President Joe Biden and outgoing White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki.

The lawsuit accuses Biden and top administration officials of “colluding” with Big Tech to bury negative stories in the media.

The two states allege that Biden and Psaki, along with Dr. Anthony Fauci and other top administration officials, “colluded” with social media companies and “pressured” them to censor and suppress information on the Hunter Biden laptop story and other news events that are damaging for Democrats.

The filing states: “Having threatened and cajoled social-media platforms for years to censor viewpoints and speakers disfavored by the Left, senior government officials in the Executive Branch have moved into a phase of open collusion with social-media companies to suppress disfavored speakers, viewpoints, and content on social media platforms under the Orwellian guise of halting so-called ‘disinformation,’ ‘misinformation,’ and ‘malinformation.’”

“Notoriously, social-media platforms aggressively censored core political speech by then-President Trump and the Trump campaign raising concerns about the security of voting by mail in the run-up to the November 2020 presidential election,” the filing states.

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt said:

“In direct contravention to the First Amendment and freedom of speech, the Biden Administration has been engaged in a pernicious campaign to both pressure social media giants to censor and suppress speech and work directly with those platforms to achieve that censorship in a misguided and Orwellian campaign against misinformation.

“I will not stand idly by while the Biden Administration attempts to trample on the First Amendment rights of Missourians and Americans.”

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry said:

“Big Tech has become an extension of Biden’s Big Government, and neither are protecting the freedoms of Americans; rather, they are suppressing truth and demonizing those who think differently.

“Ripped from the playbook of Stalin and his ilk, Biden has been colluding with Big Tech to censor free speech and propagandize the masses.

“We are fighting back to ensure the rule of law and prevent the government from unconstitutional banning, chilling, and stifling of speech.”
