I regret to inform you that the authoritarians are at it again. In Politico today, Adam Cancryn relates the anguish and frustration that have been felt within Joe Biden’s White House since a federal judge reminded the executive branch that it is bound by the Bill of Rights. “Biden officials have felt handcuffed for the past two years,” Cancryn writes, “by a Republican lawsuit over the administration’s initial attempt to clamp down on anti-vaxxers, who alleged the White House violated the First Amendment in encouraging social media companies to crack down on anti-vaccine posts” — a suit that staff at the White House believe “has limited their ability to police disinformation online.”
To which one must ask: As opposed to what?
