A country has the right to prevent the world’s Internet users from accessing information, Canada’s highest court ruled on Wednesday.

In a decision that has troubling implications for free expression online, the Supreme Court of Canada upheld a company’s effort to force Google to de-list entire domains and websites from its search index, effectively making them invisible to everyone using Google’s search engine

Many have been waiting with bated breath all morning for Trump's response on the Supreme Court's decision regarding his travel ban.  While we expected that response would come in the form of a snarky tweet, it has unfortunately been revealed via a more carefully crafted official statement.

Statement from President Donald J. Trump

 

Update:

It appears that Trump has been handed a 'partial' victory on his travel ban by the Supreme Court.  While SCOTUS revived a "narrowed" ban, they found that it can not be applied to people with a "credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States." 

Shortly after the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against Trump's "revised" travel ban in a largely moot decision as the White House already had appealed to the Supreme Court, moments ago 17 Attorneys General led by NY AG Eric Schneiderman, announced they are filing an amicus brief with the Supreme Court in opposition to Trump's "Muslim Ban." Attorneys General also filed suit against President Trump’s first and second immigration bans.

Four months after threatening he would take his immigration travel ban all the way to the Supreme Courty, Trump's administration did just that on Thursday night when it asked SCOTUS to revive his plan to temporarily ban travelers from six Muslim-majority nations after it was blocked by lower courts that found it was discriminatory.
