RFK Jr. cleared to take on Biden censorship after Supreme Court punted issue

SUMMARY

A Louisiana district court has granted Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his charity, Children’s Health Defense (CHD), the right to sue the Biden administration for alleged social media censorship. U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty found sufficient grounds for Kennedy and CHD to claim that government officials pressured tech companies like Facebook and YouTube to suppress their posts, particularly on COVID-19 and vaccines. This decision follows the Supreme Court’s June ruling in Murthy v. Missouri, which denied standing to plaintiffs challenging similar claims. The court's ruling points to direct communications between government officials and social media platforms as evidence of censorship. The case now returns to the 5th Circuit Court for further review. Kennedy’s success in this lawsuit could influence broader anti-censorship litigation and government accountability.
