The cases NetChoice v. Paxton and Moody v. NetChoice involve laws in Texas and Florida that prohibit social media companies from removing content from their platforms, clearly violating the 1st Amendment rights of private companies.
Texas law bars social media platforms with at least 50 million active users from removing content based on the views expressed. The Florida law prohibits them from removing speech by political candidates and journalistic enterprises.
Several justices, including conservatives Amy Coney Barrett and Brett M. Kavanaugh, made similar points during the oral arguments. The U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals declared the Florida law unconstitutional on this basis.
