Tennessee Takes on Social Media Giant: Trial Against Instagram Set to Begin A highly anticipated trial is set to kick off in Tennessee this week, pitting the state against social media powerhouse Instagram. At the center of the dispute is a law passed by the Tennessee General Assembly in 2022, which requires social media platforms to disclose the identities of users who post "obscene" or "harmful" content. Instagram, owned by Meta, has been fighting the law in court, arguing that it would infringe on its users' free speech rights. As the trial gets underway, observers will be watching closely to see how the state's efforts to regulate online content will play out in the courts.
