QUESTION OF THE DAY: Should the government communicate with social media companies?

The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments Monday in a case involving Missouri.

The state, along with Louisiana, argues the federal government's communication with social media companies about content violates the Constitution. The government counters that it has always had a role in fighting misinformation circulated in the public sphere.

Those communications amount to coercion and violate the First Amendment's free speech protections, the two states argue.
