SAN FRANCISCO \u2014 Key federal agencies have resumed discussions with social media companies over removing disinformation on their sites as the November presidential election nears, a stark reversal after the Biden administration for months froze communications with social platforms amid a pending First Amendment case in the Supreme Court, a top senator said Monday.<\/p>\n

Mark Warner, D-Va., who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, told reporters in a briefing at RSA Conference that agencies restarted talks with social media companies as the Supreme Court heard arguments in\u00a0Murthy v. Missouri<\/em>, a case that first began in the Fifth Circuit appellate court last July. The case was\u00a0fueled by allegations<\/a>\u00a0that federal agencies like the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency were coercing platforms to remove content related to vaccine safety and 2020 presidential election results.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court is expected to decide whether agencies are allowed to stay in touch with social media firms about potential disinformation. Missouri’s then-Attorney General Eric Schmitt filed the suit on the grounds that the Biden administration violated First Amendment rights pertaining to free speech online in a bid to suppress politically conservative voices.<\/p>\n

According to Warner, communications between agencies and social platforms resumed roughly around the same time that multiple justices\u00a0appeared to favor<\/a>\u00a0the executive branch\u2019s stance on the issue, he said.<\/p>\n
