Platforms might just IP block Texas from whatever is legally defined as “social media.” This includes Apple and Google.

Otherwise, the ID will be a sign up hindrance.

Either way, it creates a barrier to entry. Users tend to take the easiest path, so this will drive away traffic and break some habits.

Where will they go instead? shrug. But Facebook and Insta are low tiers of hell as far as I’m concerned.

It could be a good thing, if social media does a pornhub and pulls out of Texas. That could get a lot the brain washed cultists in Texas off social media and start the healing process
