Federal appeals court restores Texas's social media censorship law
« on: May 12, 2022, 08:01:22 pm »
CNN By Brian Fung 5/12/2022

A federal appeals court will allow Texas's new social media law to take effect after striking down a preliminary injunction by a lower court, according to a judicial order in the case.

The Texas law, known as HB 20, allows private parties to sue tech platforms over allegations of censorship.

The decision is a blow to tech platforms that had challenged the law as unconstitutional under the First Amendment.

If you do business in Texas, you must abide by that state's laws.
