There have been many accusations against big tech companies such as Facebook or META, Twitter, and YouTube about how they helped the Democrats and Joe Biden become President in the 2020 election or spread misinformation about the pandemic to influence the election.

In May, Missouri and Louisiana filed lawsuits against high-level Biden administration officials for allegedly colluding with social media platforms to suppress freedom of speech on many topics from the origins of COVID-19, Hunter Biden’s laptop, and election integrity.

Federal US District Court Judge Terry Doughty, of the Western District of Louisiana, granted the order of discovery sought by Republican Attorneys General Eric Schmitt of Missouri and Jeff Landry of Louisiana on Tuesday, NBC affiliate KPVI reported.

The lawsuit does not name any particular company. The ruling compels high-ranking officials to turn over any communications they have had with any tech companies. It doesn’t matter which company they interacted with.

The administration’s team of lawyers sought to dismiss the lawsuit. They believed Missouri and Louisiana didn’t have the right to bring suit against Federal Government in this matter, “parens patriae” jurisdiction. It is the belief that the government is required, by law, to protect those that can’t protect themselves.

The Biden administration argued that they can interact with big tech companies to control speech on social media platforms and the internet because they know better. Since they are the government and tasked with protecting its citizens, they can control what a person hears and doesn’t hear.

Makeuseof.com states, “Perhaps more troubling is the danger of a single narrative. If one side of a public conversation is suppressed, it’s no more a conversation. Instead, people are seemingly being force-fed a narrative and “policed” to accept it”.

Each of these social media heavyweights has enormous power. They wield it arbitrarily. They get to determine how the public discourse proceeds on their platform and what information gets published or what information gets banned or censored.

According to makeuseof.com, the definition of big tech censorship is when companies like Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, or Twitter get to decide what piece of media you can see or interact with on the internet.

You often hear the term gatekeepers. These companies essentially control the internet and act without control or oversight. They get to decide which opinions you are shared on burning issues and what contents are considered okay for you to consume.

The social media platforms have been protected under Section 230 of the Communication Decency Act. It shields them from liability resulting from any information published by others. It has been the tech companies fallback. They have used this as a shield each time claims come up against them.

Big tech companies acted to censor information over the last several years. The question is, did the government actively take part in it? Did the Biden Administration play a role in the social media platform censoring and controlling speech online?
