Missouri\u00a0regarding standing.\u201d Rosenberg emphasized that the court found in favor of the plaintiffs, affirming that they had not waived their direct censorship claims and had actively raised them alongside listener claims.<br>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<em>Murthy v. Missouri&nbsp;case, brought by the Republican attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana, involved accusations that the Biden administration pressured social media companies to censor specific content. Although a Louisiana court initially banned communication between the government and these companies, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision that the plaintiffs lacked sufficient evidence to prove direct injury. The Court also found no direct link between the government and the alleged censorship, noting that companies retain the right to moderate their own content.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/behappyhavefun1.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/08%5C/image-67.png%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-178\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br>In the\u00a0<em>Murthy v.
