Texas preparing to strike back against Big Tech

Texas Bill Aimed at Big Tech Censorship Likely to Pass
The law contains strong transparency mandates for social media companies, requiring them to disclose how and why they moderate content, and how and why they prioritize certain types of content, including their own, in user newsfeeds.

It also prohibits censorship on the basis of political viewpoint and allows citizens of Texas to sue tech companies that wrongfully terminate their accounts or censor them. The Texas attorney general will also be empowered to sue tech companies on behalf of groups of users....

The law has caused alarm amongst Big Tech’s paid advocates. NetChoice, the industry trade group that represents Google, Facebook, Twitter, PayPal, Amazon, and other companies known for engaging in political censorship, has been furiously condemning the law, to no avail.
Outstanding!!! Upholding our First amendment rights to talk about about the 2nd Amendment and other issues is a huge move for FREEDOM :txflag:
