"Supreme Court Divided Over Landmark Social Media Regulation Cases"
Supreme Court justices appeared divided during oral arguments over the constitutionality of laws in Florida and Texas that restrict social media companies' content regulation, with both sides claiming to defend free speech online. The laws, enacted in response to former President Donald Trump's social media bans, bar firms from banning users based on their views and require disclosure of content policies. Justices grappled with whether online platforms are publishers with broad First Amendment protection or common carriers subject to government regulation. The court's decision, expected before June, could have significant implications for free speech and government regulation of social media.
