Court to weigh curbs on Biden administration’s contacts with social media firms

Today the 5th Circuit will weigh lifting a Louisiana judge’s order last month limiting the Biden administration’s ability to communicate with social media companies to urge them to moderate information it deems harmful or misleading. The Biden administration quickly appealed, and the 5th Circuit temporarily put the judge’s ruling on hold while it heard the case. Here’s what you need to know:

U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty’s ruling came at the request of Republican attorneys general in Louisiana and Missouri who claimed that conservative speech had been censored on social media platforms, particularly about COVID-19 policies.
The panel that will hear the appeal includes three judges who were all appointed by Republican presidents, U.S. Circuit Judges Edith Brown Clement, Jennifer Walker Elrod and Don Willett.
The case has drawn numerous friend-of-the-court briefs, with arguments largely along partisan lines.

U.S. Soccer’s lawyers at Latham & Watkins filed a petition challenging a decision by the 2nd Circuit that revived a soccer promoter’s case against U.S. Soccer and FIFA. Lawyers for the promoter argue that a 2018 rule barring foreign soccer clubs from holding official matches in the U.S. unlawfully restrains competition. Read more.
