Supreme Court Rules 6-3 in Murthy v. Missouri, Upholds Biden Administration's Social Media Contacts
Jun 26, 2024, 03:26 PM
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that plaintiffs, including Republican attorneys general from Louisiana and Missouri, lacked standing to sue the Biden administration over its communications with social media companies about moderating content deemed misinformation. The decision overturns a lower court ruling in the Murthy v. Missouri case and allows the government to continue urging social media platforms to remove or limit misinformation, particularly related to Covid-19. The majority opinion, written by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, did not address the merits of the case or First Amendment implications. Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Neil Gorsuch dissented, with Alito expressing strong concerns about government pressure on social media to suppress free speech.
