Texas’s ban on TikTok at state institutions violates the First Amendment, claims a lawsuit filed by a group of academics and civil society researchers

Texas’s ban on TikTok at state institutions violates the First Amendment, claims a lawsuit filed Thursday by a group of academics and civil society researchers. The Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University filed the lawsuit on behalf of the Coalition for Independent Technology Research, – which works to study the impact of technology on society.

” In the order, the governor highlighted his responsibility “to preserve the safety and cybersecurity of Texans” in light of the threat of the Chinese Communist Party gaining access to critical US information and infrastructure. The Knight Institute lawsuit notes that Texas has not imposed a ban on other online platforms that collect similar user data, such as Meta and Google.
