"Supreme Court's Impact on Social Media Content Moderation"

The Supreme Court heard arguments on laws in Florida and Texas that aim to limit social media companies' content moderation abilities, potentially shaping the future of internet discourse. Both liberal and conservative justices expressed a preference for a more developed record on how the laws would operate, suggesting the possibility of sending the cases back down to lower courts for further fact-finding. Solicitors general for Florida and Texas defended the laws, arguing that big internet companies should not be allowed to discriminate based on political views, while an association of technology companies sued, asserting that platforms have a right to moderate content crucial to their attractiveness to users and advertisers.
