This class action lawsuit targets the Biden Administration for social media censorship collusion

The class-action lawsuit accusing the government of orchestrating a systemic campaign of censorship on social media has been filed in the US District Court for the Western District of Louisiana.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., his Children’s Health Defense non-profit, and Connie Sampognaro on behalf of all others in a similar position, allege that the Biden administration used pressure to make social networks owned by Big Tech carry out censorship on the government’s behalf.

According to the lawsuit, this started happening in 2020, and the filing names President , White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, US Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy, and Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Anthony Fauci, among others, as defendants, each in their official capacity.

The lawsuit states that the federal government, from 2020 until today, has waged a systematic, concerted campaign, astonishing in its breadth and effectiveness, to induce, encourage, promote’ the nation’s three largest social-media platforms to accomplish what [the government] is constitutionally forbidden to accomplish’ namely, the censorship of constitutionally protected speech.
