Appeals Court Upholds Texas Social Media 'Censorship' Law

The law had previously beenblocked from taking effectin May by a 5-4 Supreme Court decision.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Twitterhailed the rulingas a “massive victory.”

Oldman rejected that argument.

“The Platforms are not newspapers.

Their censorship is not speech.

They’re not entitled to pre-enforcement facial relief,” Oldham wrote in his opinion.

NetChoice and the Computer & Communications Industry Association said they’re disappointed in the decision and would appeal.

Twitter declined to comment on the ruling.

Facebook and YouTube didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
