In 2013, however, the #SupremeCourt in #ShelbyCounty v. Holder struck down the framework that determined which #jurisdictions were subject to the #preclearance requirement, effectively gutting this key #enforcement measure.

You can't #patent #text, or stories, or any #narrative. Patents are only for "#practical #devices" (though you don't actually have to prove it works, or even build one), although that has been (incorrectly, IMHO) extended to #software as well.
Some #jurisdictions recognize a second kind of patent, called a #design patent, which protects the "look and feel" of whatever's being patented. It also does not apply to text.

Pre-emptively preventing them from speaking is #censorship, and is a bad idea.
I'm not American, so I have no influence over what Florida and Texas do.
Regarding #fascism, guess who loves viewpoint censorship most? #Fascists.
I'm saying don't make government censorship the norm, because the next government may be fascist and use it against you.

'Currently, #BritishColumbia is one of the few #coastal #jurisdictions in #NorthAmerica that does not have a coastal #marine #strategy or #law , instead relying on a combination of #regulations administered by various #governments & ministries. With #shoreline development largely left to the discretion of municipalities, these different #ZoningBylaws, #development #PermitAreas & official #CommunityPlans have resulted in #inconsistent #protections .'
