Victory! Supreme Court correctly rules that social media platforms have First Amendment rights to curate and edit the speech of others they deliver to their users.

The Supreme Court’'s ruling is a big win for users and the First Amendment. It recognizes that the government has a very limited role in dictating what social media platforms must and must not publish. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/07/platforms-have-first-amendment-right-curate-speech-weve-long-argued-supreme-1

As we told the court, users are far better off when publishers make editorial decisions free from government mandates.

Laws that allow the government to grant favored speakers special access to the platforms, and silence disfavored speakers are inconsistent with the constitution.
