Media go berserk over judge's free speech ruling | BecketAdams
The judge’s injunction, which includes carve-outs for criminal activity and election mis- and disinformation, is a victory for free speech rights. But try telling that to certain members of our vaunted Fourth Estate. For these people, Doughty’s decision is a bad one. In fact, they say, the injunction poses a genuine risk to our core democracy.
At CNN, senior legal analyst Elie Honig characterized Doughty's ruling as a"very activist judicial opinion. Spectrum News anchor and CNN contributor Errol Louis disagrees fundamentally with the ruling. For Louis, the feds haven’t done nearly enough to regulate social media. "[The] legal experts I spoke to expect that this will have a major chilling effect on ongoing communications," thes Jonathan Lemire,"There's real concern with people I talked to the last couple of days about first of all misinformation on things like COVID or the next pandemic, whenever that might happen, but national security concerns as well, with election disinformation and the like.
