Supreme Court to hear arguments in second case with major implications for internet

The Supreme Court is set Wednesday to hear the second of two cases that could have major ramifications for social media and the internet.

On Tuesday, the court heard the oral arguments for Gonzalez v. Google, which dealt with whether Section 230, a law that protects publishers from being held accountable for content posted by users, applied to algorithms recommending terrorist-created content.

But on Wednesday, the court will focus on whether companies like Twitter can be sued under the Anti-Terrorism Act and the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act over their struggle to take down Islamic State propaganda.
