DOJ downplays FBI's 50% censorship success rate
DOJ: Tech giants too powerful to be intimidated by US government
The FBI’s efforts to suppress information on the internet are successful fifty percent of the time, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said in a court filing last month.
In a case currently awaiting adjudication by the US Supreme Court, the Biden administration is arguing for the right to censor content on social media after it was ordered by a federal court to cease its censorship enterprise.
US District Judge Terry Doughty wrote in a July 4th ruling that “the United States Government seems to have assumed a role similar to an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth’” and may be responsible for “the most massive attack against free speech in United States’ history.” After the Biden administration challenged the order, a Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the ruling, barring the White House, Surgeon General, CDC, and FBI from trying to “coerce or significantly encourage social-media companies” to censor users.
