High-stakes hearing on social media; Staten Island teen earns her wings

from Eyewitness News Extra Time · host WABC-TV

In this edition of Extra Time, we have details on a high-stakes Supreme Court hearing on social media content, the $1 billion donation that will provide free tuition at a medical school in the Bronx and a young teen who has become one of the youngest African American-licensed pilots. The U.S. Supreme Court wrestled with state laws that could affect how Facebook, TikTok, X, YouTube and other social media platforms regulate content posted by their users. Texas and Florida both passed laws that forbid social media companies from blocking or removing user content that goes against platform rules. ABC's Ike Ejiochi is in Washington with a look at the arguments, and how the court's decision could impact the future of the internet. Meanwhile, a record-setting gift will ensure students at a medical school in the Bronx will no longer have to pay tuition. A long-time professor donated $1 billion to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, removing a major financial hurdle to becoming a physician in a historically underserved borough. The endowment by 93-year-old Dr. Ruth Gottesman will change lives for decades to come. And as we continue to celebrate Black History Month, we introduce you to a young teen whose future is soaring. At 17 years old, the young girl from Staten Island may be the youngest African American-licensed pilot in the U.S. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
