U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty for Western Louisiana in Monroe signed a minute entry Wednesday (docket 3:22-cv-01213) setting in-person oral argument for May 26 at 9 a.m. CDT on the motion for a preliminary injunction against dozens of Biden administration defendants filed in June 2022 by the Republican attorneys general of Louisiana and Missouri. Each side will have one hour of argument, beginning with the plaintiffs, said Doughty’s entry. The time for asking and answering questions from the court won’t be included in the one-hour time limit for arguments, it said. The AGs allege 67 government agencies and officials colluded with Big Tech to censor social media information about the 2016 presidential election and COVID-19 health information. The injunction they seek would bar the defendants from “inducing social-media companies to censor particular contents or to adopt or enforce speech-restrictive content-moderation policies" (see 2304190015).
