Consent decree in key First Amendment lawsuit protects online free speech from gov't | Eastern NC Now

The longrunning Missouri v. Biden lawsuit over free speech and the internet has finally come to a conclusion with a consent decree the protects online free speech.  The case had its origin in government attempts to force social media sites to censor content on Covid and on election matters.  The Twitter files after Elon Musk bought it had revealed a lot of government overreach. and were instrumental in providing evidence for the case.

The case had been returned to the lower court for more proceedings after making a trip to the Supreme Court, where Amy Comey Barret greatly disappointed conservatives for not standing with the Frist Amendment.  The parties have not settled the case, and the consent decree recognizes that free speech right on the internet are the same as on other media, and that the government is prohibited from threatening social media companies over what they allow to be posted.
