The Supreme Court dismissed claims by Missouri and Louisiana that federal agencies coerced social media platforms into censoring content, ruling the plaintiffs lacked standing and failed to show a real and imminent threat of harm. The majority found platforms exercised independent moderation incentives, though a three-justice dissent warned the interactions could represent implicit coercion; the decision preserves routine government-platform communications on misinformation and national-security issues while leaving room for further discovery in lower courts.
