Washington:
A U.S. federal judge on Tuesday blocked key government agencies and Biden officials from meeting and communicating with social media companies, the Washington Post reported.
The order came in response to a lawsuit filed by Republican attorneys general in Louisiana and Missouri, who allege state officials went too far in their efforts to encourage social media companies to post posts they feared could contribute to hesitation with vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic or upsetting elections, the newspaper said.
