Biden Administration Gets Leeway In Social Media Communications After Court Ruling
Portfolio Pulse from Ananya Gairola
A recent ruling by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has granted the Biden administration increased leeway in its interactions with social media companies. The ruling restricts government officials from coercing or encouraging social media companies to remove content deemed as misinformation. However, it temporarily lifted restrictions on the Biden administration’s communication with social media companies for 10 days. The lawsuit had accused Meta Platforms Inc.'s Facebook, Alphabet Inc.'s YouTube, and Twitter of censorship due to government pressure and threats of regulatory action.
