Supreme Court Social Media Case May Determine The Future Of Facebook, Instagram, And Twitter
The Supreme Court will soon hear arguments in the case Manhattan Community Access Corp. v Halleck, which could have far-reaching effects on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. The case, stemming from a dispute between a public access channel and the borough over content restrictions, could affect if and how social media outlets can censor user content.
“It could go a thousand different directions if the door gets opened up that way,” said Eric Goldman, director of the High Tech Law Institute at Santa Clara University.
