Just in: Texas has filed at SCOTUS in an attempt to keep the state's social media law in effect. It argues HB 20 does not violate the First Amendment because it regulates conduct, not speech and also because it labels social media as common carriers: https://t.co/UED7nu4KmR — PolitiTweet.org

Just a few days ago, the questions about how social media will work in Texas under HB 20 seemed urgent but still to some degree hypothetical. Saturday's violence made many of these questions painfully real. https://t.co/7EFcwUq1zq — PolitiTweet.org

@hassankhan @mmasnick First, that doesn't invalidate what transpired in the procedural history of the bill. Second, incitement and specific threats are a much narrower category of speech than that contemplated by the rejected amendment. https://t.co/rqWs7CT2yA — PolitiTweet.org
