The two cases concern Republican-backed state laws that aim to restrict social media companies like Facebook and X, formerly Twitter, from moderating content.
Washington — The Supreme Court is hearing arguments Monday in a pair of social media cases that could transform online speech.The two cases concern disputes surrounding Republican-backed laws in Florida and Texas that aim to restrict social media companies from moderating content, which tech groups representing platforms like Facebook and X, see as a violation of their First Amendment rights.
The states in the case argue that the social media companies should be treated like any business and be restricted from removing posts or banning users from their platforms based upon their views. But the social media companies counter that the laws infringe upon their editorial discretion, arguing that they should be treated more like news outlets. Both the Biden administration and Trump have weighed in on the dispute, upping the ante on the political implications.
