Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) and State Sen. Bryan Hughes (R-Mineola) will discuss a bill filed with the Texas Legislature that aims to "help prohibit social media companies from censoring Texans based on the viewpoints they express," the governor's office says.
According to the Texas Legislature, Senate Bill 12 would give Texans a way to get back online if a social media company bans or blocks their account based on their political or religious views.
Abbott said the bill aims to "prevent social media platforms from 'canceling conservative speech.'"
