The Democratic Supreme Court justice was harshly criticized by conservatives for her argument.

, Jackson appeared to be skeptical that the government could not censor social media posts in “the most important time periods.”

During today's Supreme Court hearing on social media content moderation, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson expressed concerns about "The First Amendment hamstringing the Government."“You seem to be suggesting that that duty cannot manifest itself in the government encouraging or even pressuring platforms to take down harmful information,” Jackson said.

“Our position is not that the government can’t interact with the platforms there. They can and they should in certain circumstances like that, that present such dangerous issues for society and especially young people,” Aguiñaga said in response. “But the way they do that has to be in compliance with the First Amendment. And I think that means they can give them all the true information that the platform needs and ask to amplify that.
