Plaintiffs — including the states of Missouri and Louisiana, eminent doctors, a conservative website and health activist — demonstrated that by pressuring and partnering with Big Tech platforms to suppress disfavored speech on matters ranging from The Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story to election processes and outcomes to COVID-vaccine efficacy, federal authorities engaged in what a Louisiana district judge called “arguably” the “most massive attack against free speech” in US history.
