Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry on Tuesday hailed a major victory for the First Amendment after a federal court issued a preliminary injunction partially restraining the federal government from working with big tech companies to censor Americans’ speech on social media platforms.

The decision, handed down on Independence Day, comes amid a lengthy legal battle challenging what Landry described as “one of the most massive undertakings of the federal government to limit American speech in the history of our country.”
