Supreme Court to Rule on Social Media and Free Speech Cases.

The US Supreme Court will decide whether public officials can block critics from commenting on their social media accounts, following a case involving former President Donald Trump. The court has agreed to hear two cases involving lower-profile figures, including two elected members of a California school board and a city manager in Michigan. The cases will determine whether blocking critics on social media violates the First Amendment's free speech protections. The Supreme Court will not hear the new cases before the fall.
