Google Submits SCOTUS Injunction Stay as Supplemental Authority in RFK Jr. Case

Defendants Google and YouTube submitted as supplemental authority the U.S. Supreme Court’s Oct. 20 order granting the government’s cert petition on the social media injunction entered in Missouri v. Biden and staying the injunction pending disposition of that petition (see 2310210001), said their filing Tuesday (docket 3:23-cv-03880) in U.S. District Court for Northern California in San Francisco. Plaintiff Robert F. Kennedy Jr. seeks a preliminary injunction enjoining Google and YouTube from removing his COVID-19 videos on grounds that they violate YouTube’s medical misinformation policies (see 2310160014). Kennedy cited the Missouri v. Biden injunction in his motion for the injunction against Google and YouTube, plus in his reply in support of that motion, and Google and YouTube submitted the SCOTUS order in support of their opposition to RFK Jr.'s injunction.
