A lot of legal detail in this post. Here are three key points I pulled out the aricle:

  • Internet users have a First Amendment right to speak on social media—whether by posting or commenting—and that right may be infringed when the government seeks to  interfere with content moderation, but it will not be infringed  by the independent decisions of the platforms themselves.

  • Underlying these rulings is the Supreme Court’s long-awaited recognition that social media platforms routinely moderate users’ speech

  • This term’s cases also confirm that traditional First Amendment rules apply to social media
