Social media giant Facebook has become a tool for leftist to spread their doctrines while silencing conservative voices. Now one state is fighting back against the infringement of freedom.
The Texas Senate has proposed Senate Bill 2373, which seeks to protect the free exchange of ideas on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
Republican Texas State Sen. Bryan Hughes proposed the bill and demands that social media entities not restrict the free speech of users based on personal opinions.
The bill went before the Senate State Affairs Committee last week and was immediately and unanimously approved.
“Senate Bill 2373 tries to prevent those companies that control these new public spaces, this new public square, from picking winners and losers based on content. Basically, if the company represents, ‘We’re an open forum and we don’t discriminate based on content,’ then they shouldn’t be able to discriminate based on content,” Hughes said at the hearing.
After Facebook and Instagram made permanent bans on a list of predominately conservative voices, it’s high past time something was done to protect the freedom of speech.
What good is a state resolution against a company that intimidates countries? Especially if the resolution has no teeth to punish the offending businesses? Even if the US Senate and House passed this same resolution, and the President signed it, I still doubt it would create any real change. I can hope and pray that I’m wrong, but I doubt it.
I have said this over and over and no one comes to my aid! I have said lawyers can attack on mom and pop bakery because they won’t bake a cake for gay people because of their religious beliefs, but because they have no money like states due to flight school unlike Zuckerberg and Google and Amazon and the like against shutting up the American people, this goes on I do not believe this is went on this long Karma for people like this with big money to infringe on freedom of speech. You wonder why the Democrat party is owned and operated by one world order billionaires and why they want you disarmed do you really wonder why?
i agree.
Bravo, Texas with your Bill 2373 to face-off FaceBook with their discrimination policy which just so happens to be foe Conservative leaning messages predominantly. Boycott FaceBook if you have to. I never joined the ‘thing’ because I had a hunch that it would be trouble ~ just a hunch that actually came true ~ trouble, indeed. It’s good to hear your voice of experience and wisdom.
How do I go about suing Facebook for stopping the free flow of conservative literature.
I’m waiting on one State to be the first to simply ban one of these ‘Media platforms’ in their State. There is no real purpose to them on a Social or financial basis. Making addicts of people for instant gratification is entirely a business model… like cigarettes.
And truthfully known, the entire group of media platforms watched on shiny handheld devices used in America each year actually causes more deaths than the entire Vietnam war… 6000 just by people walking in front of moving vehicles each year while stupidly staring at a screen.
Advertising dollars, lobbyists, bought and paid for politicians.. ><50,000 people die of stupidity each year. Easily fixed so people can walk and talk at the same time but not use a shiny screen also, lolol.
Just outlaw in one State PLEASE…
Agree with you. If Just One state outlaws it others will follow. America has gone off the deep end and we need to pull it back on course. The politicians will continue their agenda to destroy and we need to stay Strong, stay United and stop the political games of the swamp.
Our US STATE Of TEXAS FIGHTS FACEBOOK CENSORSHIP
