Supreme Court halts ruling that blocked White House pressure on social media companies
- The Biden administration is asking the Supreme Court to overturn a ruling that forbade the White House and FBI from coercing social media platforms to take down content they don't like, following a case that exposed the government's efforts to control social media messaging.

- While the administration claims it was persuading, not coercing, the Fifth Circuit's injunction prohibits the government from significantly encouraging or coercing social media companies to censor speech.
