Former Biden adviser's op-ed lambasted for claim that the 'First Amendment is out of control'

A guest essay, "The First Amendment Is Out Of Control," published in The New York Times on Tuesday was swiftly criticized on social media. 

Tim Wu, a Columbia University law professor and former special assistant to President Biden on the National Economic Council, wrote that "The First Amendment was a tool that helped the underdog."

The guest essay focused on the Supreme Court's decision to send back to lower courts challenges to Florida and Texas laws that restrict how large social media companies moderate user content.
