Interesting, This Is...

...and a big f@*ck you to the socail media platforms and their fortification efforts.
Fifth Circuit Rejects First Amendment Challenge to Texas Social Media Common Carrier Law

In urging such sweeping relief, the platforms offer a rather odd inversion of the First Amendment. That Amendment, of course, protects every person's right to "the freedom of speech." But the platforms argue that buried somewhere in the person's enumerated right to free speech lies a corporation's unenumerated right to muzzle speech.

....

Today we reject the idea that corporations have a freewheeling First Amendment right to censor what people say. Because the district court held otherwise, we reverse its injunction and remand for further proceedings.
