Senate Bill 12 would prohibit social media companies — including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube — from blocking, banning, demonetising, or otherwise discriminating against users based on their viewpoint or location within Texas. It would apply to anyone who lives in, does business in or has social media followers in Texas. The legislation would allow citizens of Texas to approach the courts in case they feel their free speech rights have been infringed upon by social media companies. The state attorney general will also be empowered to take up the case of such individuals before courts. https://tfiglobalnews.com/2021/03/06/remove-posts-by-any-texan-and-face-the-music-texas-governors-attack-on-big-tech-is-both-reasonable-and-audacious
