Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signs social media 'censorship' bill into law

This is just feel good legislation that has no point other than making a statement and has no mechanism to enforce.
Also as stated in another thread, none of these people are being banned for their party affiliation. They are being banned for violating the terms of service and typicslly violating them multiple times after multiple warnings.
 
Just another day for conservatives.

How are Texas voters feeling about their elected officials right now considering they have done nothing to fix the energy grid situation?

In the eyes of the folks who run the grid, it's been running just fine the way it was set up by them so the only fixing that needs to be done is at the polls come election day.
 
I would love to see porn all over the internet for young children to find and then use this law to keep it up. Conservative values my arse!

No I do not want to see kids exposed to porn but this law is anti conservative values.
 
Texas has become a state of shame. It has become an authoritarian state where free Americans are being deprived of their rights. Abbott - Small government conservative my ass. “I believe in a free market, limited government, and the rights of businesses!” This guy is an embarrassment. This douchebag doesn’t understand the meaning of Terms of Service. Good luck suing a private company for enforcing their terms of service.

All this will most likely do is cause social media sites to block Texans from accessing the sites. Not allowed to block content based on political "Viewpoints"?. I'm guessing in the GOP sphere - planning insurrections, making death threats and spreading dangerous health misinformation counts as a "viewpoint"?

So if I politically think that Abbot is a goat-fucker, and want to base my entire political position that he "fucks goats", then no large media can sensor me? I heard that Abbott fucks goats, sometimes several in one day, and I can't wait to share this fact all over social media now that I apparently can't be censored. Be careful what you legislate and wish for.
 
And to think Texas mandated all 12 year old girls get the HPV vaccine in 2007. Look how far the republican party has come since then!
 
Have you ever wanted to be a cowboy, strong, silent, emotionally long suffering without complaint. Have you ever wanted to be a real Marlboro Man? Then you have wanted to be Texas Man, flannel shirts, cowboy boots and hats, a horse ranch. When I was a kid I packed a pare of Colt 45's bigger than me. I used the calking fibers to hold back molten lead poured into iron sewage pipes as bate to harpoon whales off the decks on new house sailing ships pre-framing.

And then it all collapsed, all hope of being a real man stripped away, except of course a bad case of tobacco addiction. How easy it became to hate that Cowboy Sailor and his childish dreams, how hard to look past those superficial identities to find the secret to such dreams, to accept the pain of the hole in the center their absence brings. But alas some success and it is done as best I was able and not I spend my time dreaming of guns and sailboats. Weeeeeeeeeeee! Torn on Zillo between farms and ranches and oceanside properties.

Texas Man you have hope if you can transcend your grief and that can happen when you feel it. Texas Man Haters, you have an additional hurdle to jump.

But then there is the fear instilled by the speakers of Christ on to the Texas Man and Texas Women. The fear of a horrible fate after death instilled into Texas Man and Texas Women, the fear of being sent into the basement in hell it self. The basement of hell itself, according to the speakers of Christ claims, that those who go away from the belief of Christ to another belief, to those that sleep with the opposite sex before marriage, to those that get married to the same sex, to those that kill babies before they are born, and to those that support those who support the aforementioned actions, get sent to that basement. According to the speakers, the basement of hell is worst than hell itself.


*I am not christian, I am just basically saying that some people just follow the ideals of their own church priest or preacher. *
 
My Q-niece, always in FB jail, then uses her hubby's FB account thus his ending up in FB jail as well, and both accounts are currently in FB jail as I type, but my Q-niece would gladly take up residency in TX just to sue FB.
That is how she is.... 😳

And she gets sooooo upset with FB jail that one would think she was sentenced to federal pound me in the ass prison. And I say to her "WHY DO YOU EVEN CARE SO MUCH ABOUT FB." and "I THOUGHT YOU TOLD ALL OF YOUR Q FRIENDS TO LEAVE FB AND GO TO "OTHER" SOCIAL MEDIA ALTERNATIVES?" Then I realize, no one bothered to try those suggested "alternative media" alternatives because no alternative has the power nor subscribers as does FB. So, she tried brand B and then realized brand B was crap, so she returns to brand A (FaceBook) and gets placed in the FB slammer. And she gets placed in the FB slammer over and over and over because of the F-ing crazy shit she posts. Most of it from bitchute website. Nuff said? 🙄

I had not heard of this, so I googled it. Looks like it was Perry being a good little corporate toady, but the XO was rejected by the legislature. Perry then had to backtrack when he wanted to run for prez, but the anti vaccine conservatives were angry at him.

Rick Perry's Gardasil U-Turn: Here's What Actually Happened Back in 2007

He tried to be a good Republican by doing what big business lobbyists paid him to do and now that conflicts with what the good Republicans of the anti-vaccine religious right want him to do.

Back then I was a lazy #bothsides idiot who just didn't care to pay attention (and was working all the time), so makes sense.

Fast forward to today, both my kids are hpv vaccinated / will be completed in the next couple years.

Social Media companies: "Due to Texas' inability to maintain a working power grid, we have collectively decided to help Texas save power by removing ourselves from Texas. No need to thank us, it is just social responsibility."
