The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Florida’s anti-social-media law as largely unconstitutional. (Great timing, considering the NetChoice decision from the Fifth Circus, now pending before Justice Alito.) The 11th Circuit finds the argument that social media platforms are “public squares” that can be forced to host content they disagree with unconvincing:

11th rejects the “hosting cases,” FAIR and PruneYard, under which private entities can be forced to host others’ speech. Social media, in contrast to law school recruitment and shopping centers, readily express their own messages through their editorial policies and decisions.
