On Friday, the Supreme Court is expected to discuss whether to hear two cases that challenge laws in Texas and Florida barring online platforms from taking down certain political content. Next month, the court is scheduled to hear a case that questions Section 230, a 1996 statute that protects the platforms from liability for the content posted by their users. These cases could significantly affect the power and responsibilities of social media platforms.
The debate over censorship and Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act is thorny, contentious and outdated.
