|
Fox News: A federal judge has ordered Dr. Anthony Fauci and other Biden officials be deposed as part of a lawsuit against the Biden administration, alleging that the government colluded with social media companies to censor free speech related to the coronavirus and other controversial topics. According to a court order from the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty concluded that Fauci’s high-profile public comments have made him a key figure in the lawsuit from the Republican attorneys general of Louisiana and Missouri who allege that “collusion” between the Biden administration and social media companies to censor coronavirus-related speech that could be damaging to the White House ( Fox News). Daily Caller: Following third-party subpoenas of Twitter, Youtube and Meta, the plaintiffs were able to recover documents showing communication between federal officials and social media companies, which they allege amounts to a “Censorship Enterprise” that spans the federal government.
