Washington Today (2-26-24): Supreme Court hears social media content moderation restriction cases

The Supreme Court hears First Amendment free speech challenges to Florida and Texas laws that restrict the ability of social media companies to moderate content on sites like X, YouTube and TikTok. The laws were passed to address allegations that the social media companies censor conservative viewpoints.
