The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear two cases involving public
officials who deleted comments and blocked users from their
social-media pages. It will hear both cases during its next term,
which begins in October 2023. The cases provide an opportunity to
specify a test for deciding when a public official's use of social
media amounts to state action — the sort of action that can lead to
liability for First Amendment violations. In choosing a state-action
test, the Supreme Court will resolve a lopsided circuit split.
