Texas Passes New Law, Alamo Style

Texas

Texas conservatives are fighting, Alamo style, to defend what’s left of free speech in America. Residents of the state are now totally free to “sue Facebook, Twitter and YouTube for allegedly censoring their content.” On Wednesday, a federal court of appeals let the liberal-infuriating law stand.

Texas leads the charge

On Wednesday, May 11, the region’s federal appeals court sided with Texas on their controversial law restricting the way social media megaliths can moderate their platforms. The court didn’t need to waste words explaining any complicated legal gobbledygook and the ruling clocked in at a mere 15 words. It may be small but it’s powerful.

Allowing the law to take effect, experts say, “has significant potential consequences.” What they wrote is: “IT IS ORDERED that appellant’s opposed motion to stay preliminary injunction pending appeal is GRANTED.

Tech moguls like Mark Zuckerberg are hitting their panic buttons. Almost instantly, “it creates new legal risks for the tech giants, and opens them up to a possible wave of litigation that legal experts say would be costly and difficult to defend.

According to the Texas social media censorship law, it’s specifically illegal “for any social media platform with 50 million or more US monthly users” to “block, ban, remove, deplatform, demonetize, de-boost, restrict, deny equal access or visibility to, or otherwise discriminate against expression.” Defining those terms will take decades. We’re back to Bill Clinton saying those dress stains were only relevant depending on what the meaning of “is” is.

Progressives in the Ministry of Truth are having conniptions. The new law, they screech, “creates enormous uncertainty about how social media will actually function in Texas.” It could easily spread to other deplorably conservative jurisdictions.

One thing’s for sure, it “raises questions about what users’ online spaces may look like and what content they may find there, if the companies are even able to run their services at all.” They seem to be saying this just broke the internet.

Showdown at Supreme Court

Freaked out Democrats are even more traumatized to speculate that the Texas ruling “sets the stage for what could be a Supreme Court showdown over First Amendment rights.

Roe v. Wade is already on the chopping block and this latest move could bring “a dramatic reinterpretation of those rights that affects not just the tech industry but all Americans.” It also defenestrates the Deep State by throwing “decades of established precedent” straight through the window.

In short, anxious analysts at CNN write, “the decision has allowed Texas to declare open season on tech platforms, with huge ramifications for everyone in the country.” Especially those liberal snowflakes who melt down all over the place, at any hint of the truth. Especially when the truth flies in the face of their democrat dogma.

It could reshape the rights and obligations of all websites; our relationship to technology and the internet; and even our basic, fundamental understanding of the First Amendment.” How horrid, they cry.

People might actually be able to say what’s on their mind without being put out of business and exiled from the digital village for it. Even before the news in Texas, Elon Musk kicked over the beehive by promising to allow Donald Trump the freedom to tweet again.

Progressives are waving their fists in the air and howling at the appeals court. “Apparently, they do not think this is disruptive or something,” Harold Feld snarled. He’s a senior vice president and communications lawyer at the consumer group Public Knowledge.
