A federal judge yesterday ordered the Biden administration to halt a wide range of communications with social media companies, siding with Missouri and Louisiana in a lawsuit that alleges Biden and his administration violated the First Amendment by colluding with social networks “to suppress disfavored speakers, viewpoints, and content.”

    There were many scientists that were saying we should investigate the lab origin. They were all silenced, including the CDC director at the time.

        And even if this is true, what does investigating a lab leak do to stop the spread of a virus actively working its way through the population?

          I’m not worried about that question, I’m worried about the ability of government to silence people simply for disagreeing with them.

            What simple disagreement are you referring to exactly? Everything you’ve mentioned has been pretty clear disinformation that lead to people dying not simple disagreements.

                Yeah okay, bud. You’re obviously trying to spread your own disinformation now as if we can’t see a written record of your comments elsewhere in this post.

            If people making the lab leak claim were silenced, why the hell can I not stop hearing about it?!

              Are you claiming that the FBI didn’t force social media platforms to censor information that it had deemed misinformation?
