Texas Governor Abbott announces legislation prohibiting Big Tech censorship!
AUSTIN, Texas (PNN) - March 8, 2021 - Fed up with waiting on lawmakers in Washington to act, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has announced a new bill aimed at prohibiting the Big Tech behemoths from censoring or throttling conservative viewpoints and comments.
“I am joining @SenBryanHughes to announce a bill prohibiting social media companies from censoring viewpoints. Too many social media sites silence conservative speech and ideas and trample free speech. It’s un-Amerikan, Un-Texan, and soon to be illegal,” Abbott wrote on Twitter.
“We see that the First Amendment is under assault by these social media companies, and that is not going to be tolerated in Texas,” Hughes said at a press conference with the governor.
