This is a farce. You're quoting from the website of the Attorney General of Missouri who was suing Media Matters over claims that it manipulated algorithms on X and used that to solicit funds from Missourians. Clearly, it's the Attorney General who was in effect doing the equivalent of court shopping.

And what you might note is that I put this in the past tense. It's clear you didn't check that dates of the lawsuit and what followed.

Missouri AG’s legal war against Media Matters shot down by federal judge

Judge: Missouri AG's actions chill speech about extremist content on Musk's X.

What's clear is that when it comes to suppressing free speech, you're a big fan.

MAGAs are desperately short of real arguments! 😀

AG of Missouri flexing his muscles!

He’d make a good US AG, to be  fair.

 

FIRST ON FOX: Republican Attorney General Andrew Bailey of Missouri filed a petition in state court on Monday to enforce a civil investigative demand, similar to a subpoena, into the advertising materials of left-wing nonprofit group Media Matters for America.

 

"Media Matters has used fraud to solicit donations from Missourians in order to trick advertisers into removing their advertisements from X, formerly Twitter, one of the last platforms dedicated to free speech in America," Bailey wrote in the petition, first obtained by Fox News Digital.

From your quoted Ars Technica article above:

 

"Media Matters CEO Angelo Carusone called the ruling "a victory for free speech and a warning to other AGs and like-minded bad actors that the constitution does not allow for this type of meritless, retaliatory, harassing effort to suppress free speech."

 

"A federal judge has clearly seen this coordinated effort by state attorneys general for what it is—sucking up to Elon Musk and abusing the power of their offices to intimidate researchers and stifle accurate reporting by Musk's critics. Andrew Bailey was one of those AGs that took up the call and he was defeated," Carusone said."
