Texas Free Speech Under Siege: SB 336 Threatens Voices with Legal Gag!
Texas Senate Bill 336 could undermine your right to free speech by weakening the Texas Citizens Participation Act. SLAPP lawsuits, the legal equivalent of “I know you are, but what am I?” aim to silence critics. Contact your state representatives to oppose SB 336 and keep Texas a free-speech haven.
Hot Take:
Texas is cooking up a legislative jambalaya, and SB 336 is the spicy ingredient nobody ordered. If this bill passes, the only thing hotter than a Texas summer will be the legal battles Texans face just for speaking their minds. It’s time for Texans to lasso their representatives and steer them clear of this free speech rodeo disaster!
Key Points:
- SB 336 threatens to weaken the Texas Citizens Participation Act (TCPA), a crucial anti-SLAPP law.
- SLAPPs are lawsuits designed to silence critics through expensive legal battles.
- SB 336 removes the automatic stay in TCPA appeals, increasing litigation burdens.
- The bill could disproportionately harm everyday Texans, including journalists and activists.
- A coalition, including the ACLU and EFF, opposes SB 336 to protect free speech in Texas.
