The US Government cannot pressure social media sites to remove content containing protected free speech.
The ruling is a victory for Republicans who have accused social media sites of disproportionately taking down right-leaning content.

Emails and text messages made public in the case suggest that the government has at most a limited impact on how social media platforms engage with misinformation.

Book Quote
Most of us have lives filled with mediocrity. We said yes to things that we felt half-hearted about. So we’re too busy to react when opportunities come our way.
