Texas Senate approves social media regulation bill

( July 14, 2021, 20:00 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: The Texas Senate approved by a vote of 17-5 legislation that would regulate social media platform content moderation. The bill, SB 5, is sponsored by Republican Senator Bryan Hughes. It makes a legislative finding that social media platforms with more than 50 million active monthly users are common carriers "by virtue of their market dominance."
