ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF

[July 1, 2024]
JUSTICE KAGAN delivered the opinion of the Court.*
Not even thirty years ago, this Court felt the need to explain to the opinion-reading public that the “Internet is an
international network of interconnected computers.” Reno
v. American Civil Liberties Union, 521 U. S. 844, 849
(1997). Things have changed since then. At the time, only
40 million people used the internet. See id., at 850. Today,
Facebook and YouTube alone have over two billion users
each. See App. in No. 22–555, p. 67a. And the public likely
no longer needs this Court to define the internet.
