The convergence of state and corporate power has spawned unexpected bedfellows as Stanford University, the CATO Institute, and Letitia James have joined forces to support the censorship regime in Murthy v. Missouri.
Brownstone has reviewed the amici curiae in Murthy v. Missouri and found that a coalition of libertarians, academics, and blue states all stand together to support society's most powerful groups.
Their briefs expose the insidious corruption and perverse financial incentives that underpin the censorship industry.
The appeal is entirely emotional, echoing Stanford's dystopian insistence that barring censorship "Could chill the ability of state and local governments to productively communicate and share information with social-media companies."
In amici briefs, a politically diverse cross-section of nonprofits, journalists, and government officials have united in their support of the plaintiffs.
"To target American citizens, the government has engaged in a complex online censorship regime coordinated by and with myriad administrative agencies and nominally third-party non-profit and academic groups," he explained.
"Government agencies funded these groups, outsourced data collection and analysis tasks necessary to censor individuals to them, coordinated censorship with the platforms, and pressured and coerced the platforms into compliance."
