Censor

The Supreme Court threw out the Social Media Censorship case. Censorship is something the government is not allowed to do but private parties can censor. The government did not go directly to Facebook and demand that certain items be censored but they went through Non Governmental Organizations (NGO's). Most NGO's are funded by government grants. This ruling will allow NGO's to attempt to influence social media. It is a back door way for the government to censor. NetChoice, a lobbying group representing and funded by nearly 40 major tech companies consider this decision a victory. Government agencies and government officials are forbidden from regulating or restricting speech or other expression based on its content or viewpoint.
