Yes, definitely. This should not only be nationwide, but should apply to everyone, regardless of political affiliation. It's messed up that we even need this, and so late into the lifespan of social media.

The fact that we even need a law to protect people from being censored is alarming at best.

woo hoo! Another post that highlights the uninformed, yet condescending nature of liberals who don't know jack shit about the law. This is absolutely a good and necessary law until such time as the Supreme Court can repeal social media's protections under section 230. They can be a platform, qualifying for the protections covered in 230, BUT unable to target and delete political comments of a conservative nature which they obviously disagree with, or they can be a private business, and be able to control what stays and what goes. They can't/ should not have both.
Yeah, it's long overdue, thanks to illegal collaboration between the Biden Administration and social media, especially Facebook
"social media websites have become our modern-day public square"
FINALLY somebody gets it. No more of this: "we're a private company, we can ban who we want cus we're a publisher that pretends to be a platform" horseshit.Yes, we are the most discriminated people on earth. We say our names and are fact checked and have denials that we are lying about our names. We show birth certificates and they fact checked as counterfeit.
So 28% of respondents are chickenshit leftist punk nazis, with positions and arguments so weak and unpopular that they have to censor others.
It applies to everyone regardless of politics, not just conservatives.
No. As much I despise when Facebook or YouTube removes my comments, I don't believe I'm entitled to use their social media platform especially when I don't pay a dime to have a membership.
If my comment offends Facebook or YouTube then whatever, it's their site.
Facebook banned me for 30 days because they didn't like some of my comments, mind you I didn't curse or incite violence. 🤷‍♂️Social Media Marketing

It's only purpose to make abbot look like he's taking a stand against the libs and to feed into the conservative culture of victimization.
I think the politicians don't know that the owner of Social Media
can block the accounts of those who are saying bad stuff that
shouldn't be postedI believe nobody, ever, no matter how radical they are..
Should ever be censoredWhen they are an effective monopoly like they are now I do
Their must be a law (s) that protect against anyone claiming to publish anything as fact That's not. There is only one true set of facts. Opinions are like assholes.
Sure do since conservatives are the only ones they ban just for voicing our opinions.
If “conservative” “view points” violate the terms and conditions then they should get removed, this law is bullshit
Of course! I like your new photo, bro.
Greg Abbott, we love you!🇺🇲
