Tech trade association NetChoice has become the chief litigator for the industry. In the last few years the organization has filed 10 lawsuits aimed at blocking new state laws relating mostly to social media and children’s online safety, and it has won temporary injunctions in nine cases, most recently in Utah, where a federal judge blocked implementation of SB 194 on the grounds that it likely violates the First Amendment.
