The Supreme Court on Monday will weigh the circumstances under which the government can be found to cross the line from persuasion to coercion, hearing arguments in cases involving two contentious issues: problematic social media posts and gun rights. The court will first hear arguments over concerns that the Biden administration’s contacts with social media companies, including efforts to have content removed on issues like Covid, constituted unlawful coercion. The case poses a significant test of the First Amendment's free speech protections in the digital age and stems from the Biden administration's efforts to pressure social media platforms to remove content that it said spread falsehoods about the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 presidential election. The Supreme Court is set to consider at what point the federal government's attempts to protect against misinformation on social media cross into censorship of speech that is constitutionally protected. #SupremeCourt #JoeBiden #SCOTUS #USA #LiveNews #CNBCTV18
