Left’s Reaction To Biden Admin Social Media Case Shows Their True Position On Free Speech, Ben Shapiro Says
Daily WireAPR 2023
The Spin
Republican narrative
This is a huge win for free speech and a blow to censorship. The Biden administration assumed the role of an “Orwellian Ministry of Truth” by orchestrating a far-reaching censorship campaign during the COVID pandemic. The government should never be able to censor ordinary Americans on social media.
Democratic narrative
The judge is putting US security at risk with this ruling. The government and social media companies have been coordinating to address criminal activity – including sexual abuse images, terrorism, COVID disinformation, and Russian election interference – for years, and breaking up this communication will only harm the nation under the false pretense of protecting the First Amendment.
