A federal appeals court Friday ruled in favor of a Texas law targeting major social media companies like Facebook and Twitter in a victory for Republicans who accuse the platforms of censoring conservative speech.
According to this article, this Texas law only applies to platforms with 50,000 active users. This is an important designation as I was wondering exactly what social media platforms were affected by this. This law's final history is not written yet. It will arrive at the Supreme Court for a challenge.
