Will the Supreme Court Blow Up the Internet?
Good morning from the Hive newsroom! Cristian Farias breaks down the high court’s evaluation of a case on Section 230, the highly contentious law that protects internet companies from liability for harmful posts. (Yes, this is the law Donald Trump loves to hate). It’s not clear how far the Court will go, but Justice Elena Kagan admitted the body might be in a bit over its head.
As the anniversary of Russia’s invasion into Ukraine approaches, veteran conflict reporter Janine di Giovanni catalogues the more than two decades of systematic carnage Vladimir Putin has wrought in three decimated cities: Grozny, Aleppo, and Mariupol.
In other news, Bess Levin questions why Emily Kohrs, the forewoman of the grand jury in the Fulton County district attorney’s investigation into Donald Trump, is seemingly on a media tour talking about the ongoing case. Caleb Ecarma finds Sean Hannity particularly open to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (national) divorce fantasies. And Eric Lutz explains why everyone should be paying attention to a very high-stakes state Supreme Court election in Wisconsin. Thanks for reading!
