Supreme Court sidesteps a ruling on laws in Florida and Texas that would regulate social media platforms.
The Supreme Court on Monday said it is putting off a ruling for now on whether social media laws adopted by Florida and Texas violate the 1st Amendment. Instead, the justices sent those cases back to lower courts to consider how those laws would apply in specific situations.
Ron DeSantis signed his state’s first-in-the-nation law and said it targeted the “Big Tech censors” who “discriminate in favor of the dominant Silicon Valley ideology.” The measure, adopted before billionaire Elon Musk purchased Twitter and changed its name to X, applies to social media sites with more than $100 million in annual revenue or more than 100 million users.
