Texas Governor Abbott Working on Legislation to Prevent Social Media Platforms from 'Canceling Conservative Speech' -

"Section 230, a provision in the Communications Decency Act, currently protects social media companies from liability in relation to content posted on their platforms by third parties."

Why this is important: We predicted before the election that attacks on Section 230 would continue under either a Biden or Trump administration. We were right. This proposed legislation from Texas, which exists in concept only at the moment, would allow Texans to file discrimination lawsuits against social media companies for deplatforming, shadow-banning, and other forms of moderation based on viewpoint. It’s difficult from a legal perspective to understand how this legislation would not violate the First Amendment, especially not without a formal draft in circulation, but that seems to be beside the point for the sponsors. The effort to combat perceived viewpoint discrimination on social media has all the momentum and shows no signs of slowing down.
