"Supreme Court to Rule on Government's Role in Combating Online Disinformation"

The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on the government's role in combating disinformation online, focusing on the First Amendment's application in the internet age. The case involves the government's interactions with social media companies and the alleged coercion of these platforms to moderate content. The Biden administration argues that it is entitled to express its views and persuade others, while opponents claim that such actions constitute unconstitutional state action. The case raises fundamental disagreements about the regulation of social media companies under the First Amendment and whether such policies should be determined by the courts or Congress.
