Hey Gavin Newsom! Investigating TikTok’s Moderation Is Just As Unconstitutional As When Texas & Florida Tried It

We called bullshit when Republicans tried to order websites to carry content. We’re calling bullshit now when Democrats are trying to do the same.

We spent years explaining to politicians across both parties why the government can’t dictate how private platforms moderate content. During the Biden admin, GOP governors seemed most aggressive about trying to tell platforms they couldn’t moderate. We wrote many thousands of words words about why Texas’s HB20 and Florida’s SB7072 were flagrantly unconstitutional.
