The Supreme Court heard oral argument in Counterman v. Colorado, a case on whether threatening statements made on social media are protected speech or constitute a criminal threat. Justices focused their questions on a number of aspects of the case, including the intent of the person making a threatening statement, impact on the victim, and distinctions between expression in person versus online.
