*Attorneys General from [[Alabama]], [[Florida]], [[Alaska]], [[Arizona]], [[Arkansas]], [[Kentucky]], [[Mississippi]], [[Missouri]], [[Montana]], [[South Carolina]] and [[Texas]] submit a federal court appeal in support of Florida Senate Bill 7072 that allows state residents to sue the country’s largest technology companies over their content moderation policies. [[Robert_Lewis_Hinkle|U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle]] issued an injunction against the bill in June arguing it required social media sites to host speech they otherwise would not and interfered with their editorial judgment. The judge also argued the law targets large technology companies and not smaller companies that operate in similar ways, effectively targeting companies that are "too large and too liberal."
