Supporters of the laws, passed in 2021, have argued that social media platforms have silenced conservative voices, while advocates of content moderation have argued for the need to stop misinformation and advocacy for extremist causes. Invited to weigh in on the dispute, the justice department on Monday said the cases merit review because the laws burden the platforms’ rights under the US Constitution’s First Amendment, which protects freedom of speech.
The cases would test the argument made by the industry groups that the First Amendment protects platforms’ editorial discretion and prohibits governments from forcing them to publish content against their will.
