The U.S. Supreme Court is set to make a decision on Republican-supported laws in Florida and Texas that aim to restrict social media companies from moderating objectionable content. The industry argues that these laws violate the platforms' free speech rights. The laws would limit content moderation practices by major social media platforms, with the Court expected to give its ruling on Monday, marking the final day of its current term. The laws were challenged by tech industry groups, and lower courts have differed in their decisions on these laws. The issue revolves around whether the First Amendment protects the editorial discretion of social media platforms against government interference in their content moderation practices.
