On this week's episode of Case in Point, we preview two big cases set to be argued within the week. Two very different online platforms have brought First Amendment free speech challenges against the government for laws regulating their operation. The implications for both could shake the foundation of some of the country's biggest platforms. In his year end report on federal courts, Chief Justice John Roberts may have tipped his hand as to how he'll rule in one of the cases....or did he? Then we discuss the need for the Supreme Court to revisit its rulings on obscenity and speech with Giancarlo Canaparo. Porn makes an appearance at the high court in a few days - is the government's interest simply in protecting kids from harmful material, or are there other considerations in play? That and more on this week's episode of Case in Point.
