Poway Unified School District Headquarters. The U.S. Supreme Court, exploring free speech rights in the social media era, agreed to consider whether the Constitution's First Amendment bars government officials from blocking their critics on platforms like Facebook and Twitter. The justices on Monday took up an appeal by two trustees of the Poway Unified School District of a lower court's ruling in favor of school parents who sued after being blocked from Facebook pages and a Twitter account maintained by the officials.
