Texas politicians are a stupid bunch

A messy, anti-free market bill regarding big tech regulations will probably get votes in the Texas House before the end of Tuesday. Senate Bill 12 requires social media companies to create acceptable use policies explaining what content is allowed, how users can report content violating said policies, and a live toll-free number, email address, or “relative complaint intake mechanism” for complaints. Also in the bill includes requiring at least one employee operating the toll-free complaint number, a quarterly report on enforcement efforts and procedures, and whether coordinated campaigns were involved in getting accounts banned. Barred users along with the Texas Attorney General can civilly sue companies if they believe social media companies violated the regulations

Not quite fit for the modern world
