High Court to Review White House Contacts With Social Media Firms

WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court is stepping into the debate over speech rights and misinformation online, agreeing Friday to review lower-court rulings barring White House aides and other officials from pressuring social-media platforms to take down content disfavored by the government.

The brief order, which put the lower-court decisions on hold until the Supreme Court rules on the issue, was unsigned, as is typical. The court’s three most conservative justices dissented, warning that “government censorship of private speech” could result.
