Appeals court upholds Florida social media access law
Original: Appeals court OKs Florida law on social media access
A US appeals court has upheld Florida's law restricting how social media platforms moderate content and access, dealing a significant blow to the tech companies that challenged it. The ruling keeps the state measure in effect and is being closely watched as part of the broader legal fight between Republican-led states and major platforms over content moderation and free speech online.
Why now: The ruling advances a high-profile legal battle over state power to regulate social media content moderation.
