SCOTUS SCOTUS allows government to request removal of misinformation on social media, Court strikes down a lower court ruling 6-3, permitting government to call on platforms to remove falsehoods (www.theguardian.com)

The US supreme court has struck down a lower court ruling in the case of Murthy v Missouri, finding that the government’s communications with social media platforms about Covid-19 misinformation did not violate the first amendment. The court’s decision permits the government to call on tech companies to remove falsehoods and establishes boundaries around free speech online.
