KGIII Elite 8 Matchup
Antony Blinken (State)
vs.
Jennifer Easterly (CISA)
Disfavored speech? Blinken you’ll miss it. Blinken’s State Department funded the development, testing, and marketing of censorship technology used to suppress First Amendment-protected speech based on viewpoints expressed in their content. Dozens of agencies and some private-sector accomplices used Blinken’s censorship tools, which is why NCLA sued to stop one of the most egregious violations of the First Amendment’s guarantees of freedom of press and freedom of speech in American history.
We never censored anyone, but if we did, we should be allowed to keep doing it! Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency chief Jen Easterly, as well as a number of other major federal agencies, pressured social media firms to censor First Amendment-protected speech. While the Supreme Court wrongly found NCLA’s clients lacked standing to stop the censorship, with limited discovery at the preliminary injunction stage, NCLA uncovered a vast censorship operation emanating from the highest levels of government, across at least a dozen agencies, and featuring well over a hundred government actors—and potentially many more that are as yet unknown.
