Sandra Rodríguez Cotto v. Wanda Vázquez Garced (Civil Case No. 3:20-cv-01235) is a lawsuit challenging a Puerto Rican law that criminalized the dissemination of what the government considered inaccurate information during emergencies. The plaintiffs, two journalists, argued the law was unconstitutional and violated freedom of speech. A court struck down the law, but the decision is currently under appeal.
