One of the bills related to “online hate” and required social media companies to report “hateful” content.

In December 2022, Rumble (the free speech video-sharing platform) sued New York — citing the law as unconstitutional

Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski promptly tweeted: “The founding fathers would be proud today.”
