On June 27, 2024, the US Supreme Court ruled that the White House and other government agencies can order social media platforms to delete false information. This decision allows agencies like the Department of Homeland Security to tag posts on platforms like Facebook as potential interference by foreign spies in presidential elections, marking a significant victory for the Biden administration. The ruling stems from a lawsuit filed in 2022 by Republican officials from Missouri and Louisiana and five social media users against the government's involvement in pressuring tech giants to remove false content, with the plaintiffs arguing that the actions went beyond persuasion and into coercion to silence dissenters. However, the Supreme Court ultimately dismissed the case, citing lack of evidence of government-led censorship.
