NetChoice v. Weiser

On August 14, 2025, the social media trade association NetChoice sued the Attorney General of Colorado Phil Weiser to stop his enforcement of HB 24-1136 arguing that requiring warning labels on social media is a form of compelled speech.^[3][4] Later on, October 16, 2025, a hearing was held on the Preliminary Injunction by NetChoice motion to block the enforcement of the law.^[5]

On November 6, 2025, Federal Senior Judge William J. Martinez granted NetChoice's Preliminary Injunction therefore blocking the state of Colorado from enforcing the law. He determined that the law was a form of compelled speech and triggered strict scrutiny and that it failed that test. This ruling has implications on similar laws that require social media warning labels states such as Minnesota, California and New York.^[6][7]
