Supreme Court Deals Blow to Big Tech’s Campaign to Immunize Itself from Regulation

July 1, 2024

The Supreme Court’s decision in the NetChoice cases is a huge loss for NetChoice. NetChoice's shoot-for-the-moon strategy failed miserably. The Big Tech trade group sought a pronouncement that platform design choices are wholly protected expression, but the Court refused to take the bait. Instead, the Court took the approach that EPIC advocated in its amicus brief: to the extent that the decision recognizes any protected editorial judgment for platforms’ decisions about whether and how to display content, it is narrowly confined to decisions that reflect a company’s judgements about the content, and does not include content-neutral design decisions.
