Judge temporarily reinstates Texas anti-censorship bill

A federal court of appeals has reinstated the Texas law banning social media companies from censoring users based on their political views.

Big Tech companies challenged the constitutionality of the law that was passed last year. A district court blocked the enforcement of the law pending the conclusion of the case.

The state appealed the decision in the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals, which reinstated the law on Wednesday, not based on whether or not it is constitutional but until the conclusion of the ongoing case in the district court.
