Supreme Court and Government Control of Social Media

Attorneys argued in the Supreme Court that the Biden administration pressured social media platforms to remove content they deemed problematic. Justices questioned if government communication with these platforms violated any laws. The lawsuit focused on government efforts to moderate content regarding topics like COVID and the presidential election, raising questions about free speech restrictions online. Justice Katanji Brown Jackson debated the government's right to restrict speech, while Justice Samuel Alito compared social media platforms to traditional press.
