    Friday’s ruling created what is known as a "circuit split," since the eleventh circuit struck down a similar social media law in Florida. A circuit split generally increases the likelihood of the Supreme Court taking up a case.
    The bottom line is that conservatives cant admit to themselves the Evil they have allowed to romp on their watch.

    This is going to hurt.

    Federal Court Hand Downs Major Ruling Against Facebook — Big Tech Has No ‘Freewheeling First Amendment Right to Censor’



    [SIZE=4Censorship on social media may finally come to an end thanks to a law in Texas that was upheld by a federal appeals court.

    In Texas, Governor Greg Abbot signed a bill called HB 20 that stops social media platforms with more than 50 million monthly users from censoring or limiting users’ speech based on viewpoint expression.

    The new law includes Google, Facebook and Twitter. Predictably, left-wing big tech companies aren’t happy about this Texas law as they are fighting back.

    [][COLOR=0000"]Federal Judge Andrew S. Oldham of the Fifth Circuit said the platforms argued for “a rather odd inversion of the First Amendment” that “buried somewhere in the person’s enumerated right to free speech lies a corporation’s unenumerated right to muzzle speech.”[/COLOR][/B]

    Republicans say this latest ruling is a major victory that may result in more free speech and the end of censorship on social media platforms. The ongoing legal battle could end up at the Supreme Court, which holds a conservative majority.

    The judge was correct about the weird inversion of the First Amendment. The First only applies to the government censoring free speech.

    Otherwise, I don’t see why any private enterprise can’t legally filter any content that violates its rules of content. Even this forum does. That is, as long as certain groups are not excluded based on their protected status. Race, color, nation of origin, age, etc.

    I remember when the internet was The Wild West. Yahoo was better than Google early on, then Google got good around 2004-7, but after that Obama started letting run a bunch of the internet through their

    servers; That's when the "filtering" began. That's why you search for a truth about Democrats or the 2020 election, the results are inverted.

    No, this goes to section 230 special immunity for mega corps. That removed the peasants' rights to sue them.

    " CompuServe and Prodigy, which were early service providers at that time.[19] CompuServe stated it would not attempt to regulate what users posted on its services, while Prodigy had employed a team of moderators to validate content. Both companies faced legal challenges related to content posted by their users. In Cubby, Inc. v. CompuServe Inc., CompuServe was found not be at fault as, by its stance as allowing all content to go unmoderated, it was a distributor and thus not liable for libelous content posted by users. However, in Stratton Oakmont, Inc. v. Prodigy Services Co., the court concluded that because Prodigy had taken an editorial role with regard to customer content, it was a publisher and was legally responsible for libel committed by its customers.[20][b]"

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_230
    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
    — Joe Biden on Obama.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".
