Great Firewall of Texas. I could legit see them investing insane dollars on this project. I don't think this is federally illegal either

  > I don't think this is federally illegal either If the FCC wanted to overrule it, they could, and the Courts would likely be on the FCC's side. See https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R46736 https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R46736 But I doubt it would ever get that far. It would be a huge burden on every large corporation operating in Texas, if interstate traffic had to go through some legally mandatory firewall or content filter. The Texas state legislature is generally pro-business, and if almost every major corporation in Texas would be lobbying them not to do something, I doubt they'll do it. And, in the very unlikely event the legislature ignored that lobbying and did it anyway, and the Governor didn't veto it – then those corporations would likely go straight to petitioning the FCC, and I think it is likely they'd succeed in convincing the FCC in overruling it.
