THOMAS ON TECH CENSORS
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas openly questioned if social media companies weren’t violating free speech rights when they censored the use of their platforms. “Today’s digital platforms provide avenues for historically unprecedented amounts of speech, including speech by government actors. Also unprecedented, however, is control of so much speech in the hands of a few private parties,” Thomas said. “We will soon have no choice but to address how our legal doctrines apply to highly concentrated, privately owned information infrastructure such as digital platforms.”
