NCLA Asks Supreme Court to Uphold Injunction Against Government Social Media Censorship

Retrieved on:

Tuesday, February 6, 2024

The injunction would bar officials from the White House, CDC, FBI, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and Surgeon General’s office from coercing or significantly encouraging social media platforms to censor constitutionally protected speech.

Key Points:

The injunction would bar officials from the White House, CDC, FBI, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and Surgeon General’s office from coercing or significantly encouraging social media platforms to censor constitutionally protected speech.
In September, a Fifth Circuit panel upheld the key components of U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty’s July 4 preliminary injunction order, prohibiting named federal officials from coercing or significantly encouraging social media companies to suppress legal speech.
Though the U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily stayed the Fifth Circuit’s injunction, NCLA believes the Justices are ultimately unlikely to permit the egregious First Amendment abridgements this case has exposed.
In fact, much of the speech the government suppressed in this case—about Covid-19 and Hunter Biden’s laptop—was truthful.”

American Fiction: scathing and accurate portrayal of the obstacles black writers face in publishing

Despite his clear talent, Monk continuously faces rejection for his latest novel.

Key Points:

Despite his clear talent, Monk continuously faces rejection for his latest novel.
It’s never explicitly said but it’s made pretty clear that his book is just not “black enough”.
Authors from historically marginalised communities, including black authors, repeatedly encounter obstacles to getting their work published, receiving post-publication support, or securing a safe platform that allows their voices to be heard.

The struggle for authentic representation

Monk considers the book as pandering “black poverty porn” and its success drives him to the edge.
In one scene, Monk asks a bookseller why his books are being stocked in the African-American Studies section as they’re “just literature”.
When he takes his books to sit among the general fiction, he’s confronted with a large display of We’s Lives in Da Ghetto.
It reflects an idea of blackness and black experience that publishers are all too happy to buy into.

Commercial success vs. authenticity

It’s his answer to the absurdity of the publishing industry, replete with almost every black stereotype he could think of, including gangs, absent fathers, guns and drugs.
To Monk (and initially his agent) this is an unsellable book that obviously calls out the racism inherent in the success of such books like Sintara Golden’s.
To his complete bewilderment, however, he’s offered a $750,000 advance from a publisher who had passed on his other work.
In the midst of all this, Monk is asked to be the diversity inclusion to judge a prestigious literary award.
The conversation between the two touches on the complex issues surrounding authenticity, commercialisation, “selling out” and the definition of meaningful representation.
