Cases and Controversies

Social Media Cases Could Impact Public Discourse Online


Listen Later

The Supreme Court will hear arguments Monday in fights over laws in Florida and Texas that seek to stop social media platforms from censoring conservative speech online.

At issue are provisions that require platforms to keep up certain kinds of content and inform users when posts are removed.

The justices are being asked to decide if those requirements are constitutional under the First Amendment’s right to editorial judgment.

Scott Wilkens, senior counsel at Columbia University’s Knight First Amendment Institute, joins Cases and Controversies to discuss how the justices are likely to approach a case that could impact public discourse online for decades to come.
