In the essay "Free Speech and Private Power," the author discusses the implications of the Moody Court's stance on transparency requirements for social media platforms. Drawing parallels with the Zauderer precedent, the author argues that social media moderation policies may necessitate certain disclosures. This goes beyond mere commercial transactions, suggesting that even interpersonal relationships on these platforms could require transparency. The analysis reflects on the evolving judicial perspective and the potential impact on the future regulation of private power in digital spaces.
The relationship between social media platforms and users involves services by a profit-seeking business, challenging how we view compelled disclosures based on Zauderer.
Private power can be constrained by transparency requirements in social media moderation policies rather than simply imposing hosting mandates, creating a nuanced debate.
