Social media platforms operating in Texas, take note: the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has granted Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's stay on HB 20 — a law that may put many social networks at risk in the state. The controversial bill seems designed to block sites like Facebook and Twitter from "discriminating against" Texas users based on their viewpoints. In other words, if a Texan posts a racist image on their account, for example, this ruling makes it much harder for these social media giants to remove the content or take action against the user.
