Appeals Court Blocks Texas Social Media Law from Going Into Effect

The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals blocked a controversial Texas social media law from going into effect as industry groups seek to bring the case to the Supreme Court. The court granted a request from the Computer and Communications Industry Association (CCIA) and NetChoice to prevent the law’s implementation ahead of a potential Supreme Court hearing on the case, the tech associations said.
