The Supreme Court struggled with the issue of social media use by public officials on Tuesday, hearing appeals of two rulings that could alter the future of online exchanges between public officials and constituents.

According to The Hill, the cases involved social media blocks by a city manager in Michigan and two school board officials in California.

Central to the argument is whether a public official is engaging in government action when they block someone on their personal social media profile when personal and job-related posts are mixed. "This discussion does seem like it has coalesced around an understanding of duties and authorities, and there's some discussion about how capacious that has to be," Justice Neil Gorsuch reportedly said.
