Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, is accusing the U.S. Supreme Court of ignoring clear evidence the Federal government was directly censoring Americans through social media platforms like Facebook. Zuckerberg told podcaster and MMA fight analyst Joe Rogan “I don’t think that the pushing for social media companies to censor stuff was legal.”
The Supreme Court had an opportunity to do its constitutional duty in the Murthy v. Missouri case but punted its responsibility. Now, President Donald J Trump has ended the threat to the American republic from within its own institutions in the guise of “protecting” Americans from “misinformation” through his executive order ending all government censorship media programs.

Excerpt:
Following Mark Zuckerberg’s putative mea culpa for having made Meta complicit in the largest censorship regime in American history, and his vow to restore free expression on his platforms, the CEO made perhaps his most consequential statement of all in an interview with Joe Rogan.
There, after describing the pressure campaign the Biden administration waged against his company to suppress disfavored speech, primarily regarding Covid-19, Zuckerberg told Rogan: “I don’t think that the pushing for social media companies to censor stuff was legal.”
The Meta CEO’s silence as this very issue was being litigated all the way up to the Supreme Court was as deafening then as it is maddening now. But in making this assertion, he has inadvertently highlighted one of the Roberts Court’s gravest derelictions of duty — one that emphasizes the necessity of vigorous executive and legislative actions in defense of our rights, actions like those promised by the Trump administration and some in Congress.
The dereliction of duty came in the Supreme Court’s punting of the case of Murthy v. Missouri, previously known as Missouri v. Biden.
