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

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

Yes you threw in a red herring. Because showing porn is mostly illegal.

 

[HandleTheTruth]

govt can require warning labels. this isn’t new

You can't force private businesses to post porn.

 

[HandleTheTruth]

Yes you threw in a red herring. Because showing porn is mostly illegal.

No that's exactly what the law will allow. Show us any different.

yeah…not sure your point. Never said the Govt could

 

[bigrebnc1775]

No it will not porn is already illegal

 

[bigrebnc1775]

He threw in a red herring.

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

In other words…

• War is peace!
• Freedom is slavery!
• Ignorance is strength!

And by that last, you must be very strong indeed.

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

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

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

You can't force private businesses to post porn.

The claimed connection between this law and pornography is rather obvious bullshit.

What the law does is to prohibit “…large social media companies from censoring users based on their ‘viewpoints.’” That's straight from the article linked in the OP.

Pornography is not a viewpoint, and therefore not protected by this law.

 

[HandleTheTruth]

The SCOTUS will rule and make law from the bench.

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.”

Tech groups ask Justice Alito to stay Texas social media law

Fine, if they want to discriminate against some viewpoints, like a publisher, then let them get sued like publishers.

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.

Leftists have always loved slavery.

Sued like fox news and the other for fake news when it comes to dominion voting machines and other such lies and disinformation

Who's being forced to post porn? DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY: Use reality.

 

[daveman]

The SCOTUS will rule and make law from the bench.

You leftists have no objection to that when it's your agenda being mandated.

 

[Orangecat]

The OP is a moron. A law against censorship isn’t forcing a business to say anything, it’s preventing them from filtering out dissenting opinions.

 

[bripat9643]

Sued like fox news and the other for fake news when it comes to dominion voting machines and other such lies and disinformation

They'll get sued every time they ban someone for posting "harmful" speech.

Anyone can file a lawsuit. What matters is the results.

Publishers don't get sued for not publishing something they don't like.

Actually, viewpoint is everything in pornography.

I'm not a leftist. But perhaps you'd like to join in the conversation here....

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