Yesterday, everyone who wants to speak freely online won a major
victory in federal court. Because of the court’s action, websites and
apps cannot be drafted into the “speech police” of New York Attorney
General Letitia James

On Dec. 1, FIRE challenged a new state law forcing websites and apps
to address online speech that the state subjectively deems “hateful.”
New York’s online hate speech law was passed after last May’s tragic
mass shooting by a white supremacist at a supermarket in Buffalo. In
the suit, FIRE represented constitutional law professor Eugene Volokh
and online platforms Rumble and Locals.

Yesterday, Judge Andrew Carter blocked the law from being
enforced. Judge Carter held that the law “both compels social media
networks to speak about the contours of hate speech and chills the
constitutionally protected speech of social media users.”
