On May 14, Twitter filed a notice of appeal with the Ninth Circuit following a decision rendered by a San Francisco, Calif. judge in favor of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. The case concerns Twitter’s constitutional challenge to an investigation Paxton allegedly initiated to punish the message sharing platform for its content moderation decisions made in the wake of the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol this January.
Twitter sought to halt the allegedly retailatory investigation, but was told its suit was premature in last week’s ruling by Judge Maxine M. Chesney. The opinion and order granted Paxton’s motion to dismiss, which according to the plaintiff-appellant, effectively denied its motion for a preliminary injunction.
