Texas law forces businesses to say things against their will. Will the SCOTUS take up the case?

[Stormy Daniels]

Ah, Texas. Land of small government. Land of minimal business regulation. But don't let that stop you from an opportunity to own the libs. In that case, become the land of telling companies that they have to publish content they don't want to publish.

What makes this mess worse is that the appeals court actually endorsed it!

Marchese said the law would force social media companies to disseminate “foreign propaganda, pornography, pro-Nazi speech, and spam.”

Social media should not be a problem when they are in a black-out situation due to the ERCOT clown show.

The speech police, it sounds like Joe's Mary Poppins "truth bitch". I don't recall you whining about her.

Texas triggers the left again I see.

 

[Stormy Daniels]

Interesting replies so far. I invite everyone to also participate in this thread....

Can the government require an individual or business to say something?

 

[daveman]

Leftists used to support the Fairness Doctrine...oh, wait, sorry. That was when it would require conservative media to disseminate leftist views.

Kerry on.

Very clear violation of the Clean Start policy.

As hinted at in the text of the OP, and made much more clear in the article linked therein, the law in question does no such thing as claimed in the thread title.

The law in question prohibits social media companies under its jurisdiction from “censoring users based on their ‘viewpoints.’” That is not in any rational sense, the same thing as forcing the companies themselves to say anything against their will

You really don't understand much of what goes on about you, do you?

If I post the sky is blue and the platform wants to call that disinformation, then they are in the wrong.

THEY ALSO are not being forced to say anything they don't want to. They are simply being told that they cannot stop others from speaking their minds, as well.


Meanwhile, we have a governor in New York Demanding that social companies take down speech she doesn't like, which is wholly against the US Consitution.

This isn't even on that scale of “government forcing companies to say things against their will”.

The OP flat-out lied about what the law does.

The government should not force a private business to have content on their platform unless it's a correction on content they provided that was false.

You leftists love to force people to do things against their will
Bakers must bake a cake even if they don't want to..
A pastor must marry two faggots even when they believe they shouldn't. So blow you bullshit somewhere else.

It's up to the provider what content they have on a platform. The terms and conditions you signed clearly state that.

You can not force a business to post porn or others propaganda. That's why you have community standards.

Not anymore. The law is clear. You cannot delete, ban, shadowban (look it up if you don't understand the term), or otherwise give voice to the opposition while censoring.

The premise of the OP is that they are being forced to say something they don't want to on the grounds that they are not permitted to delete it.

A more idiotic position could not be staked out. Allowing OTHERS to speak is in no way forcing YOU or YOUR platform to say it.

Red herring.
But the state forced people to bake cakes and merry people they didn't want to.

 

[HandleTheTruth]

Texas is trying to force social media out of their state so they can control the message.

 

[HandleTheTruth]

Red herring.

Not a red herring. If you can force social media to post porn it will be forced here.
