Gov. Abbott at a press conference just said the suspect posted to Facebook 30 minutes before the attack saying he intended to shoot his grandmother; later, that he shot his grandmother; and about 15 min. before the attack, that he would "shoot an elementary school." — PolitiTweet.org

The fact that critics can even claim that they're being discriminated against by social media platforms is evidence the companies are First Amendment speakers, the 11th Circuit says. (The judicial equivalent of pointing out a self-own.) https://t.co/YyUnH5xQLv — PolitiTweet.org

So, we now have the 11th Circuit and the 5th Circuit basically saying opposite things about social media moderation, which further highlights the stakes of the pending Supreme Court decision. — PolitiTweet.org

The 11th Circuit also holds that "it is substantially likely that social-media companies—even the biggest ones—are 'private actors' whose rights the First Amendment protects," contrary to TX and FL who argued 1A isn't involved because social media firms are common carriers. — PolitiTweet.org

This comes right as the Supreme Court is expected to decide — possibly as soon as today — whether to let Texas's HB 20 remain in effect. Both cases are viewed as bellwethers for the future of content moderation. — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: The 11th Circuit has ruled for tech platforms in the suit over Florida's social media law, SB 7072 (similar to Texas's HB 20). The court holds it is "substantially likely" that FL's content moderation restrictions violate the First Amendment. https://t.co/XYHMmKozdE — PolitiTweet.org

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
