Weissmann: Inconceivable that limit on Biden admin contact with social media firms won’t be appealed

A judge ruled the Biden administration cannot regulate content in social media sites. NBC News Justice Reporter Ryan Reilly and Former FBI General Counsel and MSNBC Legal Analyst Andrew Weissmann join Andrea Mitchell to discuss. “It is inconceivable to me that this will not be appealed,” says Weissmann. Weissmann adds, “One because it is legally wrong, and two, because the harm to our national security, and frankly, to just domestic crimes that are brought to the attention of tech companies is so severe. So it's just very hard to imagine that this won't be appealed.”

So y'all mad that judges said that the President cannot silence speech? Wild.

[terryeley]

Rationalizing tyranny any way they can.

[mr.george]

Like msnbc saying you can’t get Covid after taking the shot?? 😂😂😂 —— lies!!!!

[raygaub]

The gatekeepers crying about being blocked from the gate

[kahanakahuna]

Tbe Biden DysAdministration will appeal the ruling because Free Speech suppression and election interference are essential Democrat Party rights.

[bartjargengarblbargeler]

What I love most about MSDNC is how utterly unbiased and informative its crack journalism is!

[bjohnson]

The Ministry of Truth is really putting on a show

[austinbutler]

The government shouldn't be able to silence its political opponents.

[bartjargengarblbargeler]

Oh wow MSDNC has someone from the FBl on. This is a first

[DoSe]

Government should not be trying to censor any speech on any platform.

[ericeandco]

Government shouldn’t be manipulating information to the public.

[JayBirdNJ.]

No politician should have the power to censor free speech. Free speech and a free press are paramount to life as a free man and woman.

[johnwrclinton]

You seriously think the First Amendment doesn't apply to these topics on social media? That the govt should be permitted to have ANY opinion - even to EXPRESS such an opinion, much less ENFORCE one - regarding what constitutes "misinformation"?
YOU *are* the problem, seriously.

[markdunsworth]

Plain and simple violation of the 1st Amendment by government!!

[rudyb]

So do you think Joe does a line with Hunter?

[TheDiamond]

Joe wants to know why he can’t just contact Big Tech and tell them what can be posted and what can’t. It’s just not fair.

[taz]

4 am media talking point of the day is inconceivable and then everything else is blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and more blah

[madelinemanor]

Its all misinformation on twit n tictoc! Got rid of both of them. My time as more value then to waste it.

[zdwade]

Lol of course pointdexter didn’t like it.

[MrEootube]

"Inconceivable", you keep using that word, I do not think you know what it means.
