Supreme Court Orders Comedians' Apologies, Free Speech Questioned

Supreme Court Orders Comedians' Apologies, Free Speech Questioned

Imagine some comedians made jokes online that hurt people with disabilities.

The Supreme Court heard about it.

The court decided the comedians should say they're sorry on their social media pages.

This is because the court believes that free speech doesn't mean you can say anything, especially if it's meant to make fun of others.

The Cure SMA Foundation, which helps people with a specific muscle condition, filed the complaint.

This recent decision comes after another similar incident, creating a separate standard for online content.
