After the government hand-picked conservative individuals to target in a series of social media take-downs, Murthy v. Missouri (originally Missouri v. Biden) will go through the Supreme Court to decide the role of the First Amendment on social media. Jay Bhattacharya, a professor at Stanford University and a plaintiff in the case, joins James Poulos to discuss the Biden administration’s censorship complex during the COVID-19 pandemic. Will the United States go down a path of internet suppression like Scotland, the E.U., and other countries with internet safety bills? Or are we headed toward Orwellian censorship laws reminiscent of Soviet-era or Chinese government overreach?
