NOBLES The Biden Administration ░░░░░░░░ expected to appeal a ░░░░░░░░ federal court ruling restricting ░░░░░░░░ and officials from interacting ░░░░░░░░ social media companies to ░░░░░░░░ content The 155 page ░░░░░░░░ which was handed down ░░░░░░░░ July 4th was in ░░░░░░░░ to a lawsuit filed ░░░░░░░░ the Republican attorneys general ░░░░░░░░ Louisiana and Missouri They ░░░░░░░░ the government went too ░░░░░░░░ in encouraging social media ░░░░░░░░ to address posts related ░░░░░░░░ vaccines and elections Joining ░░░░░░░░ now is NBC News ░░░░░░░░ Reporter Ryan Reilly and ░░░░░░░░ Legal Analyst Danny Cevallos ░░░░░░░░ there s a lot ░░░░░░░░ unpack here But Ryan ░░░░░░░░ me start with you ░░░░░░░░ walk us through kind ░░░░░░░░ the parameters of this ░░░░░░░░ REILLY Yeah I mean ░░░░░░░░ it basically has some ░░░░░░░░ on what exactly the ░░░░░░░░ I think most essentially ░░░░░░░░ is able to do ░░░░░░░░ I think that you ░░░░░░░░ you have to take ░░░░░░░░ step back and acknowledge ░░░░░░░░ the reality is about ░░░░░░░░ the FBI has been ░░░░░░░░ with us And just ░░░░░░░░ at January 6 itself ░░░░░░░░ example right It s ░░░░░░░░ as though the FBI ░░░░░░░░ been going in and ░░░░░░░░ Hey take down this ░░░░░░░░ He take down this ░░░░░░░░ That s what they ░░░░░░░░ alleging but there s ░░░░░░░░ not a lot of ░░░░░░░░ to support that And ░░░░░░░░ we ve had a ░░░░░░░░ where some politicians are ░░░░░░░░ any contact between social ░░░░░░░░ companies and the FBI ░░░░░░░░ law enforcement seem problematic ░░░░░░░░ some way And if ░░░░░░░░ look at the reality ░░░░░░░░ s like the FBI ░░░░░░░░ not very good at ░░░░░░░░ social media Look at ░░░░░░░░ happened on January 6 ░░░░░░░░ were all of these ░░░░░░░░ signs red flags going ░░░░░░░░ all over the place ░░░░░░░░ they weren t prepared ░░░░░░░░ didn t do enough ░░░░░░░░ did not take proper ░░░░░░░░ or instruct other law ░░░░░░░░ agencies to take proper ░░░░░░░░ So I think that ░░░░░░░░ the framework you have ░░░░░░░░ remember that this is ░░░░░░░░ to look by I ░░░░░░░░ this opinion this 55 ░░░░░░░░ page opinion starts off ░░░░░░░░ a essentially a big ░░░░░░░░ true comment It says ░░░░░░░░ if these things are ░░░░░░░░ this is one of ░░░░░░░░ biggest First Amendment abuses ░░░░░░░░ American history And I ░░░░░░░░ so if it were ░░░░░░░░ but that s not ░░░░░░░░ where the facts are ░░░░░░░░ up with and how ░░░░░░░░ what exactly the evidence ░░░░░░░░ that social media companies ░░░░░░░░ they were interacting with ░░░░░░░░ least the FBI.”
