The Biden administration has requested a stay from the Supreme Court on a 5th Circuit Court of Appeals panel ruling regarding its communication with social media companies. The ruling would have placed restrictions on the Biden administration's contact with social media companies, and the outcome of the case could have far-reaching implications for the government’s ability to regulate social media companies and the free speech rights of social media users. The government has filed a stay application with the Supreme Court and intends to file a petition by October 13.
