Federal judge blocks Texas law that would stop social media firms from banning users

In a Wednesday press release, NetChoice President and CEO Steve DelBianco called the ruling a victory for free speech.

“[House Bill] 20 would unleash a tidal wave of offensive content and hate speech crashing onto users, creators, and advertisers,” he said in a statement. “Thanks to the decision made today, social media can continue providing high-quality services to Americans while simultaneously keeping them safe from irresponsible users and offensive content.”
