- The Supreme Court weighed Tuesday whether public officials can block certain people from their social media accounts, invoking hypothetical arguments on high-profile figures from former President Donald Trump to Taylor Swift.
- The justices heard arguments in a pair of cases involving suits filed by people who were blocked after leaving critical comments on social media accounts belonging to school board members in Southern California and a city manager in Port Huron, Michigan.
- The justices posed other hypothetical arguments to compare what restricting access to a social media page was most similar to in real life. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who has previously touted her prowess for Taylor Swift lyrics, used the pop star as an example for one of her own arguments.
