   Federal Judge blocks enforcement of New

   Yesterday, everyone who wants to speak freely online won a major   
   victory in federal court. Because of the court’s action, websites and   
   apps cannot be drafted into the “speech police” of New York Attorney   
   General Letitia James   
      
   On Dec. 1, FIRE challenged a new state law forcing websites and apps   
   to address online speech that the state subjectively deems “hateful.”   
   New York’s online hate speech law was passed after last May’s tragic   
   mass shooting by a white supremacist at a supermarket in Buffalo. In   
   the suit, FIRE represented constitutional law professor Eugene Volokh   
   and online platforms Rumble and Locals.   
      
   Yesterday, Judge Andrew Carter blocked the law from being   
   enforced. Judge Carter held that the law “both compels social media   
   networks to speak about the contours of hate speech and chills the   
   constitutionally protected speech of social media users.”
