The 11th Circuit court of appeals has upheld an injunction on a Florida social media law that would make it illegal for companies to “censor” users for their political opinions. The now-nixed law is very similar in its aims to a Texas anti-censorship law that was pushed to the Supreme Court last week.
The censorship in question here is being perceived by conservative thinkers, many of whom believe companies like Twitter and Meta have been unfairly blocking their political viewpoints on their respective social media platforms — a theory that has been disproven on more than one occasion.
