Supreme Court Hears Arguments about the Future of Online Speech

Two pivotal Supreme Court cases, set for argumentation on Monday, will shape the trajectory of online expression and future tech regulations. These cases, involving laws from Florida and Texas, challenge if forcing social media platforms to carry content they'd prefer not to violates First Amendment rights. Stemming from conservative complaints about perceived bias and the aftermath of significant political events, these proceedings will scrutinize if platforms can curate content like newspapers or must remain open like public spaces, affecting a range of entities from tech giants to nonprofits.
