Supreme Court to rule on Texas case concerning free speech, social media

AUSTIN (Nexstar) — The Supreme Court is expected to issue a decision before the end of the month in a case where tech industry groups, under NetChoice, challenged a Texas law that limits social media platforms from censoring users based on their viewpoints, highlighting significant First Amendment concerns.

The lawsuit, filed by NetChoice, arose after Governor Greg Abbott enacted a law that aims to prevent large social media platforms from censoring users based on their viewpoints, known as HB 20.
