The U.S. Supreme Court is reviewing Florida and Texas laws that could restrict social media platforms' ability to moderate speech.

Republican officials from 20 states support the legislation, reflecting broader national debates on social platform regulation.

The tech industry opposes the laws, claiming they infringe on the platforms' First Amendment rights to editorial discretion.

The Supreme Court's decision will address the tension between user speech and platform regulation, highlighted by the banning of former President Trump from major social platforms.

Justices showed skepticism towards the restrictive laws, indicating the complexity of balancing free speech with moderation.

The outcome, due by June, is set to influence the future of social media moderation and establish precedent for the tech industry's legal responsibilities.
