Tennessee
Tennessee lawmakers recently advanced legislation in the Tennessee House that would force social media companies to register with the Tennessee Public Utility Commission and hit them with fines for banning or shadow banning users. Specifically, the bill would prohibit social media companies from de-platforming users if that decision is rooted in political ideology, viewpoint discrimination, or personal animus.
In an interview with The Center Square, Republican State Senator and bill sponsor Dennis Powers said he believed, “This is going to be model legislation.”
