"Supreme Court to Rule on Free Speech Challenges to State Social Media Laws"

The Supreme Court is considering the constitutionality of Republican-backed laws in Florida and Texas that aim to restrict social media companies' ability to moderate content, claiming bias against conservative speech. Tech companies argue that the laws infringe on their free speech rights, while the states seek to equate social media platforms with common carriers like the telecommunications industry. The cases have political implications, with President Biden's administration opposing the laws and former President Trump supporting them. The Court previously intervened to prevent the Texas law from taking effect, and the legal challenges raise broader questions about free speech and content moderation on social media platforms.
