Supreme Court to Hear Case on Public Officials Blocking Constituents Online

The Supreme Court agreed to decide whether public officials violate the First Amendment when they block constituents on social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook, reviving an issue that last came to the high court in a case involving former President Donald Trump. The appeal, which will be heard by the Supreme Court in the term that begins this fall, has implications for how public officials use social media to interact with the public.
