The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments on Monday about whether the government can persuade social media companies to remove content from platforms.
The Biden administration appealed to the nation’s highest court after a ruling by the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals last September that stated Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, the White House, the FBI and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention violated the First Amendment by influencing social media companies in moderating content on COVID-19 and the 2020 election.
