But many claim some posts of those posts were censored, and they’re blaming the White House. As part of a lawsuit over government censorship, a federal judge temporarily blocked the Biden administration from communicating with Big Tech.

According to the ruling, the Biden Administration - including the Department of Health and FBI - can’t have any communication with social media companies. The case was brought on by Republican Louisiana Attorney General, Jeff Landry and former Missouri Attorney General, E...
