The Supreme Court case Murthy v. Missouri, labeled 'the most massive attack against free speech in US history,' involves plaintiffs from Missouri, Louisiana, and others who allege federal government pressure on social media companies to censor protected speech. An amicus brief was filed by Chairman Jim Jordan, Rep. Webster, and 43 other Members of Congress, as well as organizations like America First Legal Foundation, FIRE, the National Coalition Against Censorship, and the First Amendment Lawyers Association. They argue against 'unelected government bureaucrats' using 'elaborate schemes' to infringe on free speech, with RepKeithSelf and RepWebster emphasizing the need to hold big tech and the Biden administration accountable. The Liberty Center also filed a brief supporting free speech, while a related case for @DC_Draino is pending at SCOTUS.
