Supreme Court Denies RFK Jr.'s Bid to Join Big Tech Censorship Case

Justice Alito dissents, warning of potential impact on 2024 presidential campaign.

The Supreme Court has rejected Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s request to join a major case concerning the alleged collusion between the federal government and Big Tech to censor political speech.
Kennedy, who is running as an independent candidate for the 2024 presidential election, had filed a similar lawsuit at the state level in Louisiana.
The case in question, Murthy v. Missouri, was brought by the Republican attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana against the Biden administration, alleging First Amendment violations in their communications with social media companies.
Justice Samuel Alito dissented from the court's decision, arguing that the 2024 presidential campaign will be well underway by the time Kennedy's state-level case is heard.
Kennedy is known for his skepticism of the COVID-19 vaccines and has been accused of spreading misinformation about them.
