The Supreme Court on Wednesday threw out a lawsuit from state attorneys in Missouri and Louisiana to curtail the Biden administration’s efforts to coerce social media companies to remove content officials said was misinformation.
In a 6-3 ruling, the court found the group of social media users and states lacked standing to bring such claims.
“We begin—and end—with standing," the majority opinion in Murthy v. Missouri reads. "At this stage, neither the individual nor the state plaintiffs have established standing to seek an injunction against any defendant. We therefore lack jurisdiction to reach the merits of the dispute."
