The Daily Wire, The Federalist, Texas v. State Department

The State Department used its Global Engagement Center (“GEC”) to finance the development and promotion of censorship technology and enterprises, including NewsGuard and the Global Disinformation Index. These censorship technologies and enterprises targeted many conservative media outlets, including The Daily Wire and The Federalist, seeking to defund and suppress conservative news.

The State Department’s censorship scheme violated the First Amendment rights of The Daily Wire, The Federalist, and numerous similar outlets. The State of Texas joined NCLA in this lawsuit, recognizing that this enterprise interfered in its sovereign interest in enforcing Texas’ law requiring social media companies with market power to provide non-discriminatory services as common carriers.
