Supreme Court to Decide Constitutionality of State Laws Restricting Social Media Content Moderation

Texas and Florida passed laws in 2021 limiting social media companies' ability to moderate content based on viewpoint.
Lower courts have issued conflicting rulings, with one upholding Texas' law and another striking down parts of Florida's law.
Industry groups argue the laws violate social media companies' First Amendment rights to control speech on their platforms.
Supporters claim the laws combat alleged anti-conservative bias and censorship by liberal tech companies.
The Supreme Court will hear arguments this term and issue a major ruling on social media regulation by June 2024.
