Supreme Court Seems Wary of State Laws Regulating Social Media

I'm willing to ascribe good motives to the drafters of the 14th Amendment, but I really wish they'd been a lot more explicit, since we're still suffering from the weird ambiguities it introduced. (For which the court-invented incorporation doctrine is a semi-formal band-aid.)

The tech industry argues that laws in Florida and Texas, prompted by conservative complaints about censorship, violate the First Amendment. The court’s decision could fundamentally alter the nature of speech on the internet.

It seems like State laws regulating Social Media could be a nightmare to enforce and would require companies to parse every post to see if it violates the laws of that particular state.
