Justices hint that Florida and Texas social media laws may be unconstitutional

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : "Texas Solicitor General Aaron Nielson warned that interpreting the First Amendment broadly enough to protect social media platforms' policies related to arranging and organizing content had the potential to upend all sorts of laws, including consumer protection and anti-discrimination laws.
52% : Section 230, Prelogar said, shows that Congress wanted the platforms to have legal protections for their editorial role, not to be thought of as passive common carriers.
30% : The laws were inspired in part by platforms banning Donald Trump for violating their rules against inciting violence in his posts related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
