Last week, a federal appeals court ruled that a new Texas law set to punish tech companies for acting upon any sort of “anti-conservative” bias could continue through the legal system. Now two Big Tech lobbying groups are pleading with the Supreme Court to block the law before it can progress any further.
The Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA) and NetChoice filed an emergency application to the Supreme Court last Friday, May 13, claiming the new law would cause “irreparable harm” to both the world wide web and the companies that run it. Those two groups together represent a significant portion of the tech sector, including companies like Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, Twitter, and TikTok.
