A subreddit post is trolling the law by only allowing "Greg Abbott is a little piss baby" comments.

The author of the post wants to "flagrantly" break the law, and "raise awareness.".

A post on the PoliticalHumor subreddit is only allowing comments that say Texas Gov. "Greg Abbott is a little piss baby" to raise awareness of the state's social media content-moderation law.

BlatantConservative said the post is in response to Texas H.B. 20, which they called "a ridiculous attempt to control social media."

The law affects social media platforms that have more than 50 million active users a month in the US.

The post is meant to "break the law," BlatantConservative said, "Partially to raise awareness of the bullshit of it all, but mainly because we find it funny.".

At the bottom of the post, BlatantConservative added a link for users to file a complaint to the Texas Attorney General's office about being "censored" . »
