A legal fight over Florida's social media law is on again


A judge in 2021 issued a preliminary injunction to block the law on First Amendment grounds. An appeals court upheld most of that decision.

Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday sent the case back to U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle, who in 2021 issued a preliminary injunction to block the law on First Amendment grounds. But state lawyers in Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody’s office and with the firm Cooper & Kirk PLLC filed a response that contended the case should go back to district court.
