[Adi Robertson: Supreme Court blocks Texas social media moderation ban](https://www.theverge.com/2022/5/31/23124281/supreme-court-texas-hb20-social-media-ban-response?ref=birchtree.me)

> Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton defended the law in a filing with the Supreme Court. Paxton argued that large social media platforms (defined as having more than 50 million monthly active users) are “common carriers” that should be required to treat all content neutrally,
