Today the U.S. Supreme Court is returning to session and, in addition to Liberty Counsel cases, the case of the Biden administration censoring social media is heading there.
In Missouri v. Biden, the unanimous three-judge panel at the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals found that the White House, the Surgeon General, the CDC, and the FBI all “likely coerced or significantly encouraged” social-media companies to remove “undesirable” posts “by way of intimidating messages and threats of adverse consequences.”
The court determined that social media platforms moderated their content policies “in capitulation to state-sponsored pressure” and therefore, those actions “must in law be deemed to be that of the State.” This coercion affected posts about COVID-19, the elections, and other content the administration considered “problematic.”
The court also recognized: “[Government] officials have engaged in a broad pressure campaign designed to coerce social-media companies into suppressing speakers, viewpoints, and content disfavored by the government. The harms that radiate from such conduct extend far beyond just the Plaintiffs; it impacts every social-media user.”
But if this same case had been litigated by the World Health Organization (WHO) in an international court, without our constitutional rights … this critical victory would have been a devastating loss.
And that is what these globalists are counting on! We MUST NOT ALLOW Joe Biden to push this globalist agenda by empowering the WHO. Urge Congress to end our involvement in this New World Order by passing HR 79 to exit and defund the WHO. — Mat

This case documented a massive censorship campaign by our federal government. The court writes the following:
[O]fficials made express threats and, at the very least, leaned into the inherent authority of the President’s office. The officials made inflammatory accusations, such as saying that the platforms were “poison[ing]” the public, and “killing people” … Then, they followed their statements with threats of “fundamental reforms” like regulatory changes and increased enforcement actions that would ensure the platforms were “held accountable.” But, beyond express threats, there was always an “unspoken ‘or else.’”
“So, we do not take our decision lightly. But, the Supreme Court has rarely been faced with a coordinated campaign of this magnitude orchestrated by federal officials that jeopardized a fundamental aspect of American life. [This] ‘unrelenting pressure’ from certain government officials likely ‘had the intended result of suppressing millions of protected free speech postings by American citizens.’” (emphasis added)
What was happening behind closed doors in America is exactly what the Biden administration wants to see happen globally. This is a clear danger to freedom everywhere, and the Biden administration is pushing hard to expand this censorship via the WHO! We need to fax Congress to block this global attack on freedom.
The government officials were “persistent” and “angry” when their demands for censorship weren’t met. The court found that the government’s “threatening tone” and “express or implied threats” influenced social media policies “by commandeering their decision-making processes … in violation of the First Amendment.”
Right now, with Section 230, Congress holds incredible power over these companies. It can threaten to strip these social media giants of their special government-created privileges. These companies are deeply dependent on our federal government … and the Biden administration knows it.
It is so easy to look at China and think that could never happen in America ... but I’m here to tell you it already has happened. The only decision we must make at this point is what we will do about it.
Demand that Congress STOP Joe Biden’s administration from giving away our freedom to a WHO-led one world government. Urge Congress to pass HR 79 to defund and exit the WHO now.
Biden continues to lose in the courts. That is why he is rushing headlong to add his signature to the WHO’s International Health Regulations (IHR). This will make the WHO’s directives legally binding, thus redirecting any legal challenges to the World Court. Good luck with that.
The court in this case found the topics the Biden administration was censoring included COVID-19 shots, shot injuries, the lab-leak theory, lockdowns, election fraud, and the Hunter Biden laptop story. The WHO would add “climate change,” abortion, LGBTQ, and much more.
Our staff on Capitol Hill have been meeting with legislators and their staff. Your faxes and petitions are critical for our in-person meetings. Either one alone is less effective, but in tandem, your faxes and petitions along with our in-person visits are powerful.
