Texas Governor Greg Abbott yesterday signed a ban on social media "censorship" into law, imposing new restrictions on tech companies that are certain to spark a court battle similar to one happening in Florida.
Industry groups slammed the newly enacted legislation as "unconstitutional." The law "seeks to punish social media companies for following policies that protect Internet users from dangerous content online," according to the Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA).
