Republican AGs back Texas and Florida social media regulations at US Supreme Court

Social media companies are being called to be treated as utilities, similar to telephone or telegraph companies, by a group of states led by Republican attorneys general. The group argues that laws passed by Texas and Florida restricting social media companies from moderating user-generated content should be upheld. The states claim that due to the dominance and economic power of tech platforms, laws forcing companies to carry all online speech are constitutional. This case could have significant implications for the future of social media moderation and online political speech.
