6:30 pm
decision could impact the future of the internet. the hearing, beginning with the justices considering florida's law, which makes it illegal for tech companies to ban candidates on the ballot in the state from their social media sites, florida solicitor general henry whitacre, often likening social media companies to telecommunication companies, argues social media companies are unfairly censoring conservative viewpoints on their sites and that the platforms portrayal as passive hosts undermines their arguments that their content moderation policies amount to protected speech. >> we agree. we certainly agree that a newspaper for a book and a bookstore is engaging in inherently expressive conduct. and our whole point is that these social media platforms are not like those. and why shouldn't it depend on exactly what they're doing? >> justice sonia sotomayor questioning if the law is overly broad, going on to name a wide range of companies that could be affected, like the digital marketplace etsy, affecting someone's ability to shop online . >> this is so, so broad, and

good evening, the warriors are planning to welcome back chris paul into the lineup tomorrow. the veteran point guard missed 24 games with a left hand fracture. paul returns just in time to face jordan poole, the man he was traded for a tuesday game against the wizards is a softer landing spot for cp3. last night, the dubs took on the defending champs and it didn't go so well. they were tied at 82 late in the third when nikola jokic and jamal murray were too much to handle as denver delivered a 119 103 win. despite the loss, the warriors have won nine of their last 12, and they feel like they're trending in the right direction at the right time. >> you know, it's two way basketball. it's been it's is good defense and solid offense. and you know the last few weeks um we've been doing both. we've been playing well at both ends. we didn't get into much of a rhythm, but i'm confident that we can get back on track because we've been playing really well. >> losing is never fun. you just try to turn the page and because we've been having things go really well as of late and you want to you know, have a good bounce back game on monday and

it's the end of an era. >> brandon crawford has signed a deal with the cardinals. crawford was here through most of the giants glory years, winning two world series titles and four gold gloves. he's also one of the nicest baseball players you'd ever meet. crawford got a major league deal. he'll likely be a backup for the cards. the 13 year old veteran's production at the plate fell off considerably in the last two seasons, but he's still a solid defender. crawford has been the giants starter since 2011. meanwhile the giants signed veteran shortstop nick ahmed on a minor league deal, and there's some hope matt chapman is still an option for the giants infield. angels and giants spring training action from scottsdale a nice, relaxing day on the burm. jorge soler making spring debut already seven zero. angels the third soler with the single right up the middle. he was two for two on the day before being removed. the giants are really hoping for some soler power this season. seven three angels in the fifth. shortstop tyler fitzgerald with the bases loaded and now they are unloaded. it's a grand slam for the 26 year old. the giants went from down 7 to 7 all next
