Justices cast doubt in two speech cases

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : The two trade associations challenging the state laws -- NetChoice and the Computer & Communications Industry Association -- said that the actions Oldham called censorship were editorial choices protected by the First Amendment, which generally prohibits government restrictions on speech based on content and viewpoint.
54% : The laws were enacted in an effort to shield conservative voices on the sites, but a decision by the court, expected by June, will almost certainly be its most important statement on the scope of the First Amendment in the internet era, with broad political and economic implications.
44% : The groups said that social media companies were entitled to the same constitutional protections enjoyed by newspapers, which are generally free to publish what they like without government interference.
44% : Lawyers for Trump have filed a brief in the Florida case urging the court to uphold the state law.
