The Supreme Court is determining if the government's efforts to suppress online 'misinformation' infringe on the First Amendment. Concurrently, the Biden administration has temporary approval to collaborate with big tech on content moderation. Meta Platforms, meanwhile, is facing a lawsuit from 33 states over 'substantial dangers' posed to children and teenagers by addictive features on Instagram and Facebook. Meta has countered, suggesting a cooperative approach with authorities to establish clear, age-appropriate standards. The FTC is also considering the role of a child psychologist in formulating internet rules.
A Meta spokesperson on the lawsuits: "We’re disappointed that instead of working productively with companies across the industry to create clear, age-appropriate standards for the many apps teens use, the attorneys general have chosen this path." https://t.co/zpe4GDcnK9
