On Friday, a federal judge ruled that Texas can seek files on content moderation from Facebook and Twitter.
According to Bloomberg, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) can seek limited discovery from the Big Tech giants regarding their content moderation:
“The ruling allows Paxton to seek documents and depose employees at members of NetChoice and Computer & Communications Industry Association — but only if they’ll be impacted by the law barring platforms from suspending users over their political views. The statute, which applies to social-media companies with more than 50 million monthly users, takes effect Dec. 2.”
Facebook and Twitter were among the companies that sued Texas over a new law requiring “free speech” online
Texas Governor Greg Abbott and former President Donald Trump are among the prominent Republicans that have called for social media reform and harsher punishments for Big Tech companies that censor content discriminately.
“Texas passed a law prohibiting Facebook, Twitter & Google from removing conservative viewpoints,” Abbott tweeted. “They sued us. Now, a federal judge will let Texas seek internal documents about how they moderate content. It’s about to get interesting.”
Trade groups like NetChoice argue that the law, which is similar to Florida’s new free speech law, will force platforms to allow extremist posts they themselves dislike.
Conservatives are under attack. Contact your local representative and demand that Big Tech mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency, clarity on “hate speech” and equal footing for conservatives. If you have been censored, contact us at the Media Research Center contact form and help us hold Big Tech accountable.

“…censor content discriminately.”
So, can they still censor science denial ’cause the science is settled?
Fact 1: Remove the Earth’s atmosphere or just the GreenHouse Gases and the Earth becomes much like the Moon, no water vapor or clouds, no ice or snow, no oceans, no vegetation, a 10% albedo not 30%, a barren rock ball hot^3 (400 K) on the lit side, cold^3 (100 K) on the dark. At our distance from the Sun space is hot not cold. That’s NOT what the Radiative GreenHouse Effect theory says.
EVIDENCE:
RGHE “288 K w – 255 K w/o = 33 C cooler ice ball”
Nikolov “Airless Celestial Bodies”
Kramm “Moon as analog for Earth”
UCLA Diviner lunar mission data
Int’l Space Station HVAC design for lit side of 250 F. (ISS web site)
Astronaut MMU w/ AC and cool water tubing underwear. (Space Discovery Center)
Fact 2: The GHGs require “extra” energy upwelling from a surface radiating as a black body.
EVIDENCE:
Trenberth atmospheric heat balance model (TFK_bams09.pdf (ucar.edu)) and dozens of clones.
Fact 3: Because of the non-radiative heat transfer processes of the contiguous participating atmospheric molecules the surface cannot upwell “extra” energy as a black body.
EVIDENCE:
As demonstrated by experiment, the gold standard of classical science.

Conclusion:
No RGHE, no GHG warming, no CAGW or mankind/CO2 driven climate change.
