The Supreme Court has granted certiorari in a case that will determine whether states can impose content moderation requirements on social media platforms. The case originated from a Texas law that prohibits platforms from removing posts based on political viewpoint.
Legal scholars say the ruling could have sweeping implications for First Amendment jurisprudence and the power of states to regulate technology companies. Oral arguments are expected in the fall term.
Both technology industry groups and state attorneys general have filed amicus briefs, reflecting the broad interest in the outcome.
