Can the government ask social media sites to take down Covid misinformation? SCOTUS will weigh in
SCOTUS will consider whether the government’s requests for sites to moderate Covid-19 misinformation violated users’ First Amendment rights.
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court will this March hear arguments centered on the government’s role in communicating — and sometimes censoring — pertinent public health information in the midst of a pandemic.
At the core of the lawsuit is whether the federal government’s requests for social media and search giants like Google, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to moderate Covid-19 misinformation violated users’ First Amendment rights.
