Senate Journal Page: 497
SB 12 protects Texan's right to free speech online from the recent trend of cancel-culture. Big Tech companies have more and more been frequently silencing the voice of conservatives for no other reason than their ideology. This bill preserves Texans' First Amendment rights in the new public square of social media.
