ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF 
APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT 

[July 1, 2024]

 JUSTICE KAGAN delivered the opinion of the Court.* 
Not even thirty years ago, this Court felt the need to ex-
plain 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.
