Huh. Never would have thought I’d see a Republican reprimand a another Republican.
Comment on 'Content Is Too Provocative': Texas Says Yes to Anime Censorship With New 'Anti-Anime' Law

While SB20 was originally passed with bipartisan support to fight AI-generated child exploitation, its vague and sweeping language is now the primary cause for concern. The bill’s author, Republican Sen. Pete Flores, stated that his intent was to send a “clear message” to child predators.
Seems the intention was good but they used language that was overly broad and they clearly did not know enough about anime to be able to use the proper wording when writing the law.

I don’t know of thats the case, this is only what I read in the article. It’s certainly possible politicians are fighting among themselves, it happens all the time. Though I am doubtful they would fight about anime, that seems very unlikely.

The intent is never good if they use overly broad terms to remove peoples access to this world in a capacity. Using a smokescreen of a “good” aspect has never been so transparent.
They have been demanding their censorship laws they are just finding what buzzword works to open the door.
