The Fifth Circuit has upheld the right of the great state of Texas to prevent Big Tech from censoring Texans.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has ruled on the constitutionality of Texas’s H.B. 20, deciding for Texas in NetChoice v. Paxton.
You may remember that the Supreme Court earlier this year blocked enforcement of H.B. 20 while the case worked through the courts.
The ruling is AWESOME, as Texas AG Paxton has been pointing out on Twitter. Which they can’t STOP him from doing.
BREAKING: I just secured a MASSIVE VICTORY for the Constitution & Free Speech in fed court: #BigTech CANNOT censor the political voices of ANY Texan! The 5th Circuit “reject[s] the idea that corporations have a freewheeling First Amendment right to censor what people say. pic.twitter.com/UijlzYcv7r

This part is so good. Big Tech can't justify their censorship regime by claiming free speech rights while at the same time also claiming Section 230 protections. You can't be a publisher while also claiming not to be a publisher. Beautiful. https://t.co/nWWR4shQXC https://t.co/UCCGqiMKmX pic.twitter.com/isl7yRZTl5

I may update this post with more info as the reactions roll in, but the fact that the 5th Circuit correctly understood that the purpose of the First Amendment is to protect speech, not to protect the ability to censor speech.

We expect the media, government and corporations to uphold freedom of speech but we don't think the individual must uphold it. Notice PFC "moderates" comments? That's censorship. When we refuse to hear someone's expression, that's censorship. We need to be cognizant of censorship because it is our only safeguard against enslavement. If we do it on the micro level (right here at ground level) then it is projected and allowed on the macro level. This is a phenomenon that is not spoken about and thus kept out of the human psyche. It remains in the "subconscious" and that is where we can be manipulated. We must hold censorship in contempt at any time it appears. This is the easy way of getting out of the mess.
