NetChoice Lawsuits

NetChoice lawsuits involve a series of high-profile legal challenges brought by the tech industry trade group NetChoice against state laws regulating online content moderation and user data practices. The group has sued states including Texas and Florida, arguing that their social media laws violate the First Amendment and conflict with federal protections for online platforms. These cases, now before federal appeals courts and potentially the U.S. Supreme Court, could set sweeping precedents for how states can govern digital platforms’ handling of speech, privacy, and user data.

Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "private right of action").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead. (e.g., HIPAA).

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., FTC +rule).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., AI -deepfake).

Simplest form: Use the simplest form of a term s (e.g. "lawsuit" instead of "lawsuits").

Upheld Calif. Social Addiction Policy Could Pave Way for More Laws
January 6, 2025 by Kara Thompson|Top News

A U.S. District Court of Northern California ruling last week in NetChoice v. Bonta, which involved a law regulating addictive social media feeds for minors, will likely hold up and pave the way for approval of similar state laws, supporters of such laws said. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is set to consider an appeal of the Dec. 31 decision rejecting NetChoice's motion to stop the law from taking effect the next day.
