In an interview released on October 1st 2023, Joe Biden was asked about Elon Musk’s impact on X. He said Musk’s actions contributed to online misinformation.¹ This year, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction stopping key Biden administration officials from urging tech firms to suppress protected speech. The injunction also halts these officials from working with certain groups to influence social media companies to censor protected speech. This case, reflecting on the government’s role in social media content censorship, could significantly impact the government-tech company relationship regarding free speech, amidst other 2023 free speech-related legal developments. The case is currently on its way to the Supreme Court.² Sources: [1] https://youtu.be/NfU931HBWvQ?si=E5QhKQgbfjOTlBCS&t=1031 [2] https://reclaimthenet.org/ncla-asks-the-supreme-court-to-stay-injunction-censorship
