Biggie: Social Media Slammed by 5th Circuit

This will be a Big Case.  In effect, SCOTUS will decide whether big Social Media is a public utility.

...The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on the case yesterday and sided with Texas, declaring that there is no constitutional protection for censorship and censorship does not qualify as free speech. (That’s what the plaintiffs amazingly tried to claim.) This may wind up in front of the Supreme Court, but until then, the law is expected to go into effect after the appeals court transmits written instructions to the lower court that initially ruled on the case as to how they need to proceed....

It's not an easy case to decide, by the way.
