Big: A federal appeals court has ruled in favor of Texas’s HB20 social media law, striking down the district court’s preliminary injunction that blocked it from taking effect. HB20 opens the door to lawsuits against tech platforms over allegations of censorship. https://t.co/zM9YvlCMRP — PolitiTweet.org

Meta won't go into the nature of the request, so it's not clear what exactly it sought guidance on. In response, the OB says the decision doesn't "diminish Meta's responsibility to carefully consider the ongoing content moderation issues which have arisen from this war." — PolitiTweet.org

The year is 2024. Elon Musk is up at 4 a.m., personally reviewing thousands of tweets. He hasn't slept in months and now runs on solar batteries. "This is OK" *swipes right* "This is wrong, but not bad" *swipes right* "This is wrong AND bad!" *swipes left* "...help" — PolitiTweet.org

My earlier tweet was incomplete. Musk's test for enforcement is in fact more nuanced. It's actually: – Is the speech illegal? If not, then – Is the speech either "destructive to the world" or "wrong and bad"? https://t.co/8XNju3aQwB — PolitiTweet.org

So is Musk's "wrong and bad" test a two-pronged test? Must a tweet be both Wrong and Bad to invite enforcement? Or is it that enforcement will be applied to tweets that are Wrong and also tweets that are Bad? — PolitiTweet.org

So to recap, Musk's test for enforcement will be: – Is the speech illegal? If not, then – Is the speech "destructive to the world"? Who gets to decide what that means, and which consequences will apply and when, will be the next big battle. — PolitiTweet.org

And: "If they say something that is illegal or otherwise just destructive to the world ... perhaps a timeout, a temporary suspension, or that particular tweet should be made invisible or have very limited traction. But I think perma-bans just fundamentally undermine trust." — PolitiTweet.org

More Musk: "If there are tweets that are wrong and bad, those should be either deleted or made invisible, and a suspension, a temporary suspension is appropriate but not a permanent ban.” — PolitiTweet.org

This doesn't seem to be that *all* meaningful, in that Musk has already said that Twitter should do the bare minimum of heeding local laws but go no further in terms of content moderation. This doesn't really commit him to anything he hasn't already said. — PolitiTweet.org

Musk again appears to express support for Europe's Digital Services Act, which would apply heightened content moderation requirements to tech platforms like Twitter. https://t.co/ciOrjDQbL4 — PolitiTweet.org
