Continuing our trend of looking at Supreme Court cases, last Friday the Court ruled in 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis that a Colorado website designer did not have to create a website that conflicted with their beliefs, in accordance with the First Amendment. The decision was criticized for its conservative interpretation and the impact on future discriminatory conduct against minorities. I did like the take by Cathy Gellis at Techdirt, however, in that it reinforced the first amendment rights in online expression, and that it may ultimately do more good than harm — even if that isn’t what the Supreme Court may have intended.
