A Mississippi law that requires social media users to verify their ages can go into effect, the 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled.

In the recent Moody v. NetChoice and Netchoice v. Paxton cases, the Supreme Court was asked to decide whether Florida and Texas state laws regulating online social media platforms violate the First Amendment. While the justices unanimously agreed to send the question back to Federal district courts, the decision revealed a divide between the justices over the meaning of free speech that may play out if the case returns to their bench. What is the right to free speech and when does government action violate it? Join Ben Bayer as he interviews Paul Taske, associate director of litigation at NetChoice to review the Supreme Court’s decision and prospects for future rulings.
