La Corte Suprema blocca la legge sui social media del Texas, ma solo per 5-4 ciao, s.
versione testuale senza JS: https://text.npr.org/1102289944 --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- [...] The vote was 5-to-4, with the court's three most conservative justices filing a written dissent that would have allowed the Texas law to start. In a surprise move, liberal Justice Elena Kagan joined in the dissent, but she did not explain her rationale. [...] Under U.S. law, online platforms are not legally responsible for what people post and a tech company's policies over what is and isn't allowed on sites has long been considered a type of speech protected by the First Amendment. But a growing movement to reinterpret these laws has been embraced by both Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who both believe social media companies should be regulated like "common carriers," like a telephone company or another public utility and should be subject to far-reaching federal regulation. The Texas case will almost certainly come back to the Supreme Court since the Fifth Circuit panel seems inclined to uphold the law. Assuming that happens, such a ruling would directly contradict a ruling by the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, leaving the Supreme Court to resolve the conflict. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Saluti, 380° -- 380° (Giovanni Biscuolo public alter ego) «Noi, incompetenti come siamo, non abbiamo alcun titolo per suggerire alcunché» Disinformation flourishes because many people care deeply about injustice but very few check the facts.
