Here's what to know about today's decisions.

ACLU Supporter –

This morning – in a win for free expression on the internet – the Supreme Court unanimously protected our right to free speech on online platforms in two key rulings.

Here's what to know about both:

→ In Twitter v. Taamneh: The Court ruled that when companies like Twitter, Google, and Facebook simply provide a platform that's open to anyone for speech purposes, that isn't enough to "aid and abet" an act of terrorism under the Anti-Terrorism Act.

→ In Gonzalez v. Google: SCOTUS sent the case back to the court of appeals, leaving in place the vital protections for free speech afforded by Section 230. Under Section 230, platforms generally won't be held liable for user-posted content, removing incentives to limit what we say online.

→ The ACLU and its partners filed amicus briefs in both cases urging the court to ensure online platforms are free to promote, demote, and recommend content without legal risk in order to protect political discourse, cultural development, and intellectual activity.
