The law had been under temporary injunction after social media companies sued back in 2021.

or the Freedom From Censorship Act, ostensibly gives users the right to sue large social media companies for locking their accounts or otherwise barring their posted content, even if that content defies the platform’s user agreement. The Texas law applies to any users within Texas, as well as any business that operates in Texas. It also applies to any user who “shares or receives content on a social media platform in this state,” which could potentially apply to a broad range of users.

H.B. 20 defines any website or app “that is open to the public, allows a user to create an account, and enables users to communicate with other users for the primary purpose of posting information, comments, messages, or images,” as one of these examples of social media that are applicable under the law.
