Biden literally had, and used, back door channels to compel private companies to censor speech online. These companies complied either due to ideological alignment or fear of regulatory attacks from the Biden administration. To the extent that the FCC (which is more than just the one commissioner) were to take some action, it may have been less of an issue than Biden’s explicit violation of constitutional rights, because the Supreme Court has upheld the FCC’s ability to regulate content to some extent.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Biden administration on June 26, 2024, in the case Murthy v. Missouri. The 6-3 decision rejected the argument that the federal government violated the First Amendment by coercing social media companies to remove posts related to COVID-19 and the 2020 election.
You’re misinterpreting the ruling. The ruling was that the states that brought the case (Missouri and Louisiana) didn’t have standing to bring the case forward, not that the Biden administration acted legally. The majority in the court said a plaintiff who was directly a victim of the censorship would have to bring the case, rather than states on behalf of unspecified citizens. In other words, the case was dismissed on a technicality without ruling on the merits of government censorship that is done via a private third party.
