Ouch, look what texas calls "equality". Forcing companies to carry your extremist, racist, sexist, or terroristic view points is not "equality" its compelling speech.
Where are all the free speech warriors..? Weird how the GOP wants to force companies like FB, twitter, and instagram to carry their message but they didnt include companies like parlor and gab. Those companies would be allowed to moderate user content, but not the bigger ones they NEED to spread their message on.
So glad a judge blocked it. Its basically saying that companies have no right to moderate content by users, especially if its hateful or recruiting for a jan 6th style attack on the USA.

Ya, the problem with moderation is that it is 100% completely necessary on any medium that has online communication
I remember hearing about Trump talking about his new social media platform and him touting that it will involve 100% free speech. I don’t know what ended up happening with that but it’s like “100% free speech huh? So what happens when thousands of trolls come in and start spamming ‘FUCK TRUMP’ thousands of times? Or the N word? Or any other pointless obscenities”. Anyone who thinks they can have a platform with unmoderated speech that WON’T turn into a haven for trolls and filth is just naive
But moderation cannot be impartial. It just can’t. It’s being done by humans, or it’s being done by algorithms programmed by humans, and humans are biased. So moderation will always be unfair to some group or another
