Wouldn't you just block all of Texas then? Remove liability and stop servicing them. Users will then pressure for a repeal

- cato_the_elder 4y ago> just block all of Texas then No, that won't happen. Why would a social media company want to do that?
- bediger4000 4y agoTo avoid having to carry Texas spammers, Texas bot herders and Texas neo-nazis that will alienate everyone, Texans and non-Texans alike. There are many, many more non-Texans in the USA, much less the whole world. That's a real problem with national or international corporations that have a lot of monopoly power. They don't have to service everyone, and if you don't fit their idea of maximum profit, you don't get serviced. I guess Texans who feel cut-out of modern discourse could use VPNs to appear to be from Connecticut or New York City.

- pixl97 4y agoAnd how do you do that exactly? By ip? My ip says I'm in a different state. What about Texas residents in a different state. Do you just ask the user? What if they move? What if they lie? The Texas law/judges won't care and will bring a suit forth anyway
