The Supreme Court is facing cases related to online First Amendment rights amidst concerns over government censorship on social media. There is a focus on the Murthy v. Missouri case, where plaintiffs are challenging government censorship of free speech. The court's stance on free speech and potential implications on social media censorship are under scrutiny, with contrasting views on whether the court will protect free speech or side with government coercion.
Jim Jordan is shocked by Lesley Stahl pushing back on his lies: Jordan: There were concerns about the 2020 election. I think Americans agree with that. Stahl: No, they don’t. Jordan: You don’t think... Stahl: Most people don’t question the result. Jordan: Fair enough. https://t.co/KZ54506v13
Two First Amendment cases before SCOTUS involve government officials contacting social media platforms about online "misinformation" and the NRA asserting its free speech rights were violated by an ex-New York financial regulator. https://t.co/JX9SbAlhy7 https://t.co/tA2AJ32Tos
This is how you confront people like Jim Jordan or Trump when they lie about the 2020 election. https://t.co/yI7E3NYQIB

Is there some reason why these “misinformation researchers” always look like this? And is there a good reason why we shouldn’t all laugh at them? https://t.co/S0Mq3biIOS
This is a “misinformation researcher” https://t.co/BRHfyMhHqz
What in the world is a “misinformation researcher?" Wrong answers only. https://t.co/RlK64QJsfw
60 minutes was once (laughably) the gold standard of “objective” tv journalism, but watch this clip and you see that Leslie Stahl is neither high IQ nor honest, and CBS News execs have neither read nor understood the 1st Amendment https://t.co/4LxRCYJ7HO
Last night @60Minutes ran a 13-minute segment decrying how unseriously @X takes “misinformation researchers,” aka govt-aligned censors. @LesleyRStahl singled out @Jim_Jordan for “chilling” the work of these SpeechCops. Ironically Stahl’s segment was itself rife with… https://t.co/KVQxF4uiU0
Lesley Stahl absolutely owns Jim Jordan on 60 Minutes JORDAN: There were concerns about the 2020 election. I think Americans agree with that. STAHL: No they don't. JORDAN: You don't think? STAHL: Most people don't question the result. JORDAN: Fair enough. https://t.co/ENPcC0PO8K

well this is awkward. I’m also a misinformation researcher and haven’t had this problem. presumably kate was flagging political opinions she didn’t like (common among less talented workers in my field). 60 minutes should have called an actual expert. https://t.co/ywlQtSKSwK

Misinformation researcher = paid government liar https://t.co/eddNDL12mr
This is the type of person who becomes a “misinformation researcher.” Everything about her—or is it a him?—is an ideological giveaway. These are the people who want to control what we read, see and hear https://t.co/8lLLxjBhTd

Does the Supreme Court care about defending the First Amendment? Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson seems to think the White House has a right to censor its opponents in an emergency. The right to free speech has never been so threatened, says Sean Collins https://t.co/TOXbu3glkP
Leslie Stahl hailed for calling out Jim Jordan’s ‘lies’ about 2020 election: ‘Liars don't want their lies removed’ https://t.co/Tgw2xLGJ4d https://t.co/gdm0QdOHBH

Corrupt seditious scumbag Gym Jim Jordan was on 60 minutes tonight and Leslie Stahl fact checked the shit out of his useless idiotic lying ass about the 2020 election and it left him speechless. It was beautiful, but he needs to be in jail, not in our Congress.
Stahl: Most people don’t question the result of the 2020 election. They don’t question whether Biden won or not Jordan: *silent* Stahl: Right? Jordan: *silent* Stahl: Right? Jordan: Right https://t.co/tuDx69Z6UA

60 Minutes used to defend free speech. Now it defends state censorship. What a sad state of affairs.
Academics, who are flagged misinformation to social media, say there’s a campaign to discredit them – and it’s mainly coming from conservatives. (1/3) https://t.co/467xGLzuNh
The Biden regime has shown contempt for the First Amendment. It has systematically coerced social-media firms to censor its opponents. Worse still, the Supreme Court could be about to let it off the hook. This is terrifying, says Sean Collins https://t.co/TOXbu3glkP
High level of reader interest in this column about why the Supreme Court is likely to rule in favor of the plaintiffs in Murthy v. Missouri, the lawsuit against the government's censorship-by-proxy of First Amendment-protected free speech on social media. https://t.co/1mlguZy2yl https://t.co/YeXgaPFGbx
Excellent, hopeful analysis of my Murthy v. Missouri free speech case. Though the oral argument at the Supreme Court was lousy, @Susan_Shelley argues that the court is ultimately likely to favor free speech. I spent the last week feeling pessimistic, but I hope she's right! https://t.co/6STDKSgwvM
A landmark Second Amendment case holds clues to how the Supreme Court will protect the First Amendment and hand a victory to @AGAndrewBailey @DrJBhattacharya @AaronKheriatyMD @MartinKulldorff and the rest of the team fighting for freedom of speech. https://t.co/1mlguZxuIN
