Biden prevails with Supreme Court ruling in social media dispute, AP reports

The Supreme Court ruled with the White House in a dispute with Republican-led states over how far the federal government’s reach can extend to combat “social media posts that may be controversial,” according to an AP report, on Wednesday. “By a 6-3 vote, the justices threw out lower-court rulings that favored Louisiana, Missouri and other parties in their claims that officials in the Democratic administration leaned on the social media platforms to unconstitutionally squelch conservative points of view,” noted the AP.
