Supreme Court halts ruling that blocked White House pressure on social media companies
- The Biden administration has asked the Supreme Court to pause a lower court's order that restricts them from pressuring social media companies to remove or suppress posts, following a finding that some administration officials likely violated the First Amendment by pressuring tech companies to take down posts about the coronavirus and elections.
- The case, Missouri v. Biden, could have significant implications for government efforts to address online misinformation, as it involves allegations of government officials colluding with tech companies to influence public discourse and suppress conservative views. The Supreme Court swiftly responded to the petition, putting an administrative pause on the social media injunction.
- In addition to this case, the Supreme Court is also considering other requests related to online content moderation, including a Texas social media law and the interpretation of Section 230, which holds that tech companies cannot be held responsible for third-party posts on their sites.
