A Texas Republican has introduced a bill requiring internet companies censor information related to abortion. They will enforce this through bounty lawsuits similar to SB8. It specifically bans multiple websites that assist with abortion access.

they are playing right now. They are going to introduce all sorts of crazy bills for some stupid reason that I forget.
So maybe someone else can remember why they do this?
