“On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court said it will not hear a case brought by a group once led by U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that claimed Facebook censored its vaccine-related content. The Children’s Health Defense sued Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram. It claimed the company removed their content in violation of free speech rights, NBC News reported. Kennedy, who is now Health and Human Services secretary in the Trump administration, founded the group and served as its chairman. It has a history of anti-vaccine activism. The group argued that Meta colluded with the federal government to silence its posts starting in 2019. Its Facebook page was taken down in 2022 during the COVID-19 pandemic. … Because Meta is a private company, the courts ruled it has the right to decide what content it allows.” (07/01/25)
