US court to weigh if officials can block social media critics FMTNews FMTWorld
The US Supreme Court agreed to explore the Constitution’s First Amendment on free speech rights in relation to social media platforms.
The justices also took up an appeal by a Michigan man of a lower court’s ruling against him after he sued a city official in Port Huron who blocked him on Facebook following critical posts made by the plaintiff about the local government’s Covid-19 response. The California case involves Michelle O’Connor-Ratcliff and T J Zane, elected members of the Poway Unified School District. They blocked Christopher and Kimberly Garnier, the parents of three students at district schools, on Facebook and Twitter after the couple made hundreds of critical posts on issues such as race and the handling of school finances.
O’Connor-Ratcliff also had a public Twitter profile. On that account and her Facebook page, she identified herself as “President of the PUSD Board of Education” and linked to her official email address, the court filing said.
