We usually are against government control of business!
Now, the Americans face a colossal Orwellian problem. Big tech constantly tries to control the public, and we have been seeing this in the past two years, and it was so evident. The consequences were a complete disaster.

Big Tech tried to create the reality they will serve us, and no individual should have this kind of power.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott thought this when he signed HB-20. It’s a bill that made it illegal for the Big tech to censor based on political affiliation.
Check this out:
NEW: Supreme Court rules for tech companies in the legal battle over Texas's social media law, overturning (for now) a lower court decision that would've let the law take effect as the legal challenge plays out.

Barrett and Kavanaugh siding with Roberts, Breyer and Sotomayor on blocking Texas HB 20 has to be the strangest SCOTUS majority I've ever seen

The Epoch Times reported:
The Supreme Court voted 5-4 late on May 31 to temporarily block a Texas law that prevents social media platforms from censoring users based on their political views.
To be clear, the headline here is *not* the dissent; it’s that Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Kavanaugh, and Justice Barrett *all* voted to block HB20.
That’s a pretty powerful sign of where #SCOTUS is heading on this case—and issue—even if the dissent’s analysis is … alarming. https://t.co/3BN1t9KO3C

Politico added:
Chief Justice John Roberts, along with Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett granted the stay, which overturned the 5th Circuit ruling lifting an earlier injunction from a Texas district court.
The district court has not yet ruled on the underlying merits and constitutionality of the case.
Justice Samuel Alito wrote a dissent that was joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch. While Justice Elena Kagan also dissented, she didn’t join Alito’s dissent nor did she explain her own reasoning.
