THE rIGHT THINKS ONLY THE 2ND AMENDMENT EXISTS:
Judge tears apart Texas social media law for violating First Amendment (JON BRODKIN, 12/2/2021, Ars Technica)
A federal judge yesterday blocked a Texas state law that bans "censorship" on social media platforms, ruling that the law violates the social networks' First Amendment right to moderate user-submitted content."Social media platforms have a First Amendment right to moderate content disseminated on their platforms," Judge Robert Pitman wrote. He found that the Texas law "compels social media platforms to disseminate objectionable content and impermissibly restricts their editorial discretion" and that the law's "prohibitions on 'censorship' and constraints on how social media platforms disseminate content violate the First Amendment."
