In December, Chamber of Progress submitted a joint amicus brief to the Supreme Court in NetChoice & CCIA v. Moody / Paxton, urging the Court to overturn Texas’ and Florida’s anti-content moderation laws. Signed by a dozen tech and civil society groups, the brief argued that the Court should affirm platforms’ First Amendment right to curate content and highlights the negative impact of anti-content moderation laws on marginalized groups.
