In 2021, Florida and Texas both enacted laws that restricted how social-media platforms could moderate content provided by users of the platforms. Moreover, both states’ laws required platforms to notify a user when they modified that user’s content and explain why they modified the content. NetChoice sued separately to halt Florida’s and Texas’s laws, arguing that they violated the First Amendment. The Eleventh Circuit ruled for NetChoice, but the Fifth Circuit ruled for Texas.
