All indications are that the judicial system will favor a final and clean decision for free speech, even if that only comes at the hands of the Supreme Court at a much later date. That does not fix the continuing problem now and does not guarantee that government and business will not continue this in the future. But at least for now, there is some reason for hope that the Bill of Rights is not entirely dead.
The most recent batch of the "Twitter files" offers brief insight into the Covid regime's fear that the details behind their censorship and collusion will become public.
On Thursday, Alex Berenson posted a series of email correspondences between Twitter attorneys concerning his 2022 lawsuit against the company.
After a judge denied Twitter's motion to dismiss, the two sides reached a settlement agreement that reinstated Berenson's account and provided concrete evidence that government actors - including White House Covid Advisor Andy Slavitt - worked to censor criticism of Biden's Covid policies.
Failure to reach a settlement jeopardized exposing the company's communications with government officials, law enforcement agencies, pharmaceutical companies, and other pro-censorship actors in the Covid regime.
Twitter did not settle with Berenson out of remorse for its actions or care for journalistic freedoms.
Berenson's reporting did not uncover the documents that the lawyers worried would become public, but the reaction indicates that any concessions would be better than discovery.
Berenson v. Biden could unearth more information on the Covid era than his reporting would have ever uncovered.
