Does everyone have the legal
right to
access social media, regardless of past sins?*
The
Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday on the constitutionality of a **rth Carolina law barring convicted *** offenders from accessing
social media platforms also used by children. Lawyers advocating on behalf of one such offender, Lester Packingham, argued to the
Court that Facebook is so integral to everyday life that depriving an individual of
access violates his or her First Amendment rights.*
That's right: We're at a point where Facebook
access may soon be considered a fundamental right.*
