AUDIO – SUE MORE –
April 29, 2026 – An internet trade group filed a lawsuit against Minnesota on Wednesday morning, challenging a new law requiring websites to display warnings about social media use.
NetChoice argues in NetChoice v. Ellison that this law is a government attack on free speech and has asked the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota to declare the requirement unlawful. Paul Taske, co-director of the NetChoice Litigation Center, spoke with The Center Square in an exclusive interview regarding the lawsuit.
“At its core, Minnesota’s law is an obvious First Amendment violation,” Taske said. “The law forces social media websites to parrot the government’s views about the alleged harms caused by social media use.”
