The Supreme Court will hear social media cases with immense free speech implications
On Friday, the US Supreme Court agreed to take on two landmark social media cases with enormous implications for online speech, as reported by The Washington Post. The conservative-dominated court will determine if laws passed by Texas and Florida are violating First Amendment rights by requiring social platforms to host content they would otherwise block.

Tech industry groups, including Meta, X (formerly Twitter) and Google, say the laws are unconstitutional and violate private companies' First Amendment rights. "Telling private websites they must give equal treatment to extremist hate isn't just unwise, it is unconstitutional, and we look forward to demonstrating that to the Court," Matt Schruers of the Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA), one of the trade associations challenging the legislation, told The Washington Post.

"Heap buffer overflow in vp8 encoding in libvpx" is the description, and if you haven't sunk proficiency points into software jargon, that means that in specific situations it's possible for a program to record more data to a memory buffer than it's designed for. That can cause it to overwrite other data, which the program generally can't account for, opening up unforeseen security issues.

If you need a Star Trek-style metaphor, imagine it as pouring too much cake batter into a mold, and the spilled-over batter catches fire in the oven. The cake batter is your data, the oven is any piece of software, and the fire is…bad stuff that malicious hackers can take advantage of. Hey, I didn't say it was perfect.

Ars Technica notes that Mozilla has already c
