Supreme Court to hear case on how the government talks to social media companies

The Supreme Court is hearing a case, Murthy v. Missouri, that could have implications for how social media platforms handle posts containing misinformation or threats. The case questions whether the government's flagging of potentially harmful posts to social media platforms constitutes unconstitutional coercion of speech. This comes after recent First Amendment challenges involving social media moderation. The case originated when Republican state attorneys general sued the Biden administration for allegedly coercing platforms to remove content spreading false information about Covid-19 and voting. The court's decision could impact how the government and platforms communicate and handle misinformation.
