   This is good.

   A federal judge stopped enforcement of a New York law aiming to regulate online hate speech this week, siding with the video platform Rumble and law professor Eugene Volokh.

   Rumble, a competitor of YouTube, and Mr. Volokh, who runs the Volokh Conspiracy legal blog, challenged the constitutionality of New York’s law that sought to force social media platforms to create mechanisms to flag hate speech and to publish policies for how it would address complaints.

   Judge Andrew L. Carter granted a preliminary injunction on Tuesday saying the law violated the First Amendment. He said New York’s law both forced social media platforms to speak about hate speech and chills the constitutionally protected speech of people using the platforms.
