At stake is transparency laws suddenly being ruled as unconstitutional compelled speech.
The outcome could determine how much climate information businesses must reveal to the public, whether states retain authority to demand transparency on environmental and financial risks, and how far corporations can go in using free-speech claims to block regulatory oversight—setting a precedent with sweeping implications for climate accountability nationwide.

Taken into account that the supreme court decided the money used to bribe politicians is speech they will probably rule for this also.
