This is on point, I'm Kimberly Atkins' store.

Last year, Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed into law House Bill 20.

It bans large social media platforms from censoring content based on a user's viewpoint.

The Texas law was quickly followed by lawsuits, arguing that the state had no right to dictate

a private company's editorial discretion.

Rulings from the lower court sided with that opposition.

But earlier this month, the US court of appeals for the fifth circuit overturned the lower

court rulings and upheld the Texas law.

Following the ruling, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxden said, quote,

�Big text rain of endless censorship and their suppression of conservative viewpoints

is coming to an end.

These massive corporate entities cannot continue to go unchecked as they silence the voices

of millions of Americans."

But what happens in Texas does not necessarily stay in Texas.

Constitutional law attorney Scott Keller made that point when he argued on behalf of the

plaintiff net choice during oral arguments in May.

Today, we're talking about the Texas legislature, but the same theory could be exported to talk

about the federal government, federal agency, the state of California, and the state of Massachusetts.

That's not a road that this court or this country should go down.

So this hour, on point, will ask, what will this law mean for social media platforms and

what impact could this law have on the future of online content moderation across the nation?
