A Texas bill banning minors from using social media by requiring age verification on platforms is picking up steam.


Texas is set to implement a ban on social media companies from censoring users based on their viewpoints, with the law taking effect on September 1, 2021. This legislation, signed by Governor Greg Abbott, aims to prevent large social media platforms from blocking, removing, or demonetizing content based on the user's political ideology or expression. The law specifically targets platforms with over 100 million monthly users and allows users to sue companies for alleged violations. Critics argue that the law infringes on the companies' First Amendment rights, and it faces legal challenges, including a lawsuit from tech industry groups. The outcome of these challenges could have significant implications for how social media companies moderate content nationwide.
