U.S. Supreme Court to Hear Landmark Social Media Cases

UNITED STATES –

The US Supreme Court is poised to make a game-changing decision on social media’s future this week, as the court tackles two cases with far-reaching implications.

On Monday the court heard arguments on whether states like Texas and Florida dictate what stays on platforms like Facebook and TikTok.

The debate hinges on the platforms’ right to moderate content versus states’ control.

The states want to keep Facebook, Tiktok, Youtube and others from removing users’ posts – potentially even ones that promote hate speech or eating disorders, lie to voters about elections and more.

If ruled in favor of the states, it could reshape how users engage with platforms ahead of the 2024 elections.
