US Supreme Court blocks order curbing Biden administration social media contacts

The U.S. Supreme Court lifted restrictions imposed by lower courts on President Joe Biden's administration to encourage social media companies to remove content deemed misinformation, including about elections and COVID-19. The lower courts had previously imposed the restrictions to address concerns about First Amendment rights and government interference in free speech.

The Supreme Court's decision allows the Biden administration to continue its efforts to combat misinformation and regulate social media content, but it also raises questions about the balance between protecting free speech and preventing the spread of false information.
