Texas Social Media Law on Abbott Special Agenda

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) put social media regulation on an agenda for the special legislative session starting Saturday. Thursday's list includes “legislation safeguarding the freedom of speech by protecting social-media and email users from being censored based on the user’s expressed viewpoints, including by providing a legal remedy for those wrongfully excluded from a platform.” Democrats preventing a quorum over a different bill stymied the proposal in the last special session (see 2107130033).
