The U.S. Supreme Court will hear two landmark cases about how we access and use the internet

This week the U.S. Supreme Court will hear two cases which could totally reshape how we access and use the internet.

The court will determine whether social media giants can be sued for recommending content to users or for supporting acts of international terrorism by hosting terror-related content.

This is the Court’s first-ever review of a federal law that protects websites from lawsuits over user-generated content.

The closely watched cases, known as Gonzalez v. Google and Twitter v. Taamneh, have the power to change how we use the internet forever.

An increase in legal risk for hosting or promoting content could see major changes at sites including Facebook, Wikipedia, YouTube, Twitter and TikTok.

At the centre of it all is Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, a nearly 30-year-old federal law that provides broad protections to tech giants.

But this Act is facing increasing scrutiny with many lawmakers saying it prevents tech companies from being held accountable from spreading misinformation and hate speech. #trending #featured
