"I am joining @SenBryanHughes (https://twitter.com/SenBryanHughes%20%3Cbr%20/%3Etwsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1367699473703579652%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.infowars.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D50839action%3Dedit) to announce a bill prohibiting social media companies from censoring viewpoints," Abbott wrote on Twitter. "Too many social media sites silence conservative speech and ideas and trample free speech.It's un-American, Un-Texan, & soon to be illegal."

"Conservative speech will not be cancelled in the state of Texas," Abbott said. "(This bill) would allow any Texan who has been cancelled, censored or de-platformed to file a lawsuit against Twitter, Facebook or any of these other companies." The move coincides with a bill proposal in Florida that also addresses social media censorship. "We've seen the power of their censorship over individuals and organizations, including what I believe is clear viewpoint discrimination,'' Florida Governor Ron DeSantis told the ... "Under our proposal, if a technology company de-platforms a candidate for elected office in Florida during the election, a company will face a daily fine of $100,000 until the candidate's access to the platform is restored again."
