The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) is set to make a significant decision regarding the extent to which Big Tech companies can be regulated by the government in terms of editing and policing their platforms. This comes as the court hears arguments related to laws from Texas and Florida aimed at prohibiting Big Tech censorship. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis have been vocal in their defense of these laws, with DeSantis emphasizing the desire for 'more speech, not less.' The Florida law specifically restricts the ability of massive tech platforms to "deplatform" Floridians. The cases highlight the ongoing debate over the power of tech companies to control content on their platforms, with implications for free speech and internet regulation.
