## Resource

A federal judge has halted Texas’s controversial Senate Bill 12, which aimed to force social media platforms to stop censoring users based on political views. The law, set to take effect Monday, was blocked on First Amendment grounds, affirming that companies have the right to moderate their own content. While Texas lawmakers pushed the bill to counter perceived bias against conservatives, tech giants argued they’re private entities entitled to control harmful or violating speech. The ruling isn’t final—Texas plans to appeal—and this legal showdown highlights the growing tension over free speech, corporate power, and the future of online platforms.
