Former Restoring Our Faith Summit speakers, Drs. Aaron Kheriaty, Jay Bhattacharya, and Martin Kulldorff joined two others as well as the states of Missouri and Louisiana in a case against the federal government for suppression of free speech on social media. Their case argues that the federal government coerced social media companies to silence the accounts of these users because they posted views that the government did not agree with, including opinions on lockdowns, vaccinations, and COVID mandates.
Please read the Brief of Respondents and overview commentary written by our former speaker, Dr. Aaron Kheriaty.
Free speech is frighteningly under attack in our very own communities. It is easy to believe that the government will always defend free speech because it is written into our Constitution. As Dr. Kheriaty points out, “the First Amendment is merely words on a piece of paper if Americans do not defend it from governmental assault.”
The fact that this censorship case is appearing before the U.S. Supreme Court proves that we are indeed witnessing governmental assault on our free speech.
