Supreme Court Upholds PETA's Win Against North Carolina's Gag Law

The Supreme Court has declined to hear North Carolina's appeal in a case involving a law that aimed to prevent undercover employees from taking documents or recording video at farms and workplaces. The decision upholds a victory for PETA, which challenged the law, arguing that it hindered their ability to conduct undercover investigations. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had previously ruled that the law could not be enforced against PETA when its undercover work was for newsgathering purposes. The law is similar to "ag-gag" laws that have been struck down in other states due to concerns over free speech.
