Appeals court lifts restrictions on Biden administration's social media communication
A federal appeals court has narrowed a judge's order that blocked Biden administration officials from communicating with social media companies in a lawsuit brought by Republican attorneys general alleging unconstitutional censorship in the fight against Covid-19 disinformation. The appeals court reversed several aspects of the order, stating that they risked blocking the government from engaging in legal conduct. The ruling also puts the judge's order on hold for 10 days, allowing for an appeal to the Supreme Court.
