Posted May 13, 20223 yr Texas has declared open season on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube with censorship law https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/13/tech/texas-hb20-social-media-law/index.html Quote Texas’s law makes it 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.” As usual, a GOP law just filled with vague terms without concrete meaning. Although, since it includes 'discriminate against expression' I guess that does mean no more moderation. That will improve things on social media.

Republicans should be by any minute to compare this to 1984...any minute...
May 13, 20223 yr So a law saying corporations can’t censor is the censorship you’re worried about? Yeah, that’s far worse than the federal government working directly with corporations to censor.

May 21, 20223 yr About that letter labeling parents domestic terrorists. This is actual government censorship, even worse, but of course the Joemo’s will focus on nonsense deflections. The NSBA coordinated the letter with the White House, who discussed its contents with the DOJ more than a week before it was sent to Garland, who promptly acted on it. https://nsba.org/-/media/Files/NSBA-Report.pdf?la=en&hash=A001354D23C9AE88B54D398270C9790D91B01FF9
