Biden (No. 3:22-CV-01213) is a United States federal case filed in the Western District of Louisiana involving the First Amendment. The states of Missouri and Louisiana filed suit against the U.S. government, led by Missouri's former attorney general and current U.S. Senator Eric Schmitt, asserting that the government's contact with social media services to request removal of alleged misinformation was a violation of free speech and amounted to censoring conservative views and criticism of President Joe Biden's administration. On July 4, 2023, Judge Terry A. Doughty issued a preliminary injunction against several agencies and members of the Biden administration from contacting social media services to request the blocking of material, with exceptions for material involving illegal activity. The U.S. government has appealed the decision to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Fifth Circuit granted a stay of Doughty's injunction on July 14, 2023.
