“Supreme Court questions Florida and Texas social media laws on First Amendment grounds”
This is interesting, and quite a tough knot. Add the fediverse into the mix, where there is no “social media platform” per se, but where non-social companies might expose fediverse endpoints, and I have no idea where that leaves us.

At least, it wouldn't affect the non US part of Fedi. :blobcatuwu:

@pieselpriemel I assume any jurisdiction with free speech rights will have very similar issues to grapple with.

At least in the EU the DSA is quite clear that hatespeak and criminal content is not covered by freedom of expression and social media companies have to remove it. Also the DSA only affects platforms with more then 45 million users locally (what would mean on one instance) so Fedi (except Threads probabbly) is off the hook here.
