Murthy v. Missouri: Addressing Government Censorship by Proxy

On March 18, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the case of Murthy v. Missouri. This case is likely to have a major impact on free expression online as the Court attempts to distinguish between lawful government engagement with social media companies as opposed to illegal government coercion or “jawboning.”

Having just listened to the debate before the Court, this panel will examine the underlying issues of government censorship by proxy and what occurred during oral arguments. The panel will also discuss the impact this case could have on online speech and how the courts and policymakers can meaningfully address such censorship.
