| It's not confusing and you should understand what's happening for your own safety. This has been happening for a couple of decades internationally and now with USA states. This result means that Texas can take various means to block motherless. But more importantly no motherless employees should travel to Texas without risk of arrest. Same for abc/youtube/facebook employess traveling to India. You should be aware of this and monitor it in your industry. |

| > travel to Texas without risk of arrest This isn't some "non-extradition country without a treaty" scenario - "neener neener, if I don't step foot in your area you can't touch me." The United States does still have a functioning Constitution. If Texas wants to arrest an employee of these organizations, they can simply issue a Texan arrest warrant and other States will be compelled to enforce it. |

| ▲ | 15155 18 hours ago | parent [-] | | Did those abortion clinic workers perform an abortion in Texas? Then yes, they can. This website was providing services to the people of Texas, and Verisign provides services to the people of Texas as well. | | |
| ▲ | inigyou 18 hours ago | parent [-] | | yes, they provided services to Texas because someone in the extended family was in Texas and now they don't have an extra relative. | | |
| ▲ | 15155 17 hours ago | parent [-] | | Has there been a single attempt at pressing this issue judicially, or is this just hypothetical? Common law legal systems are not based on "neener neener, gotcha!" technicalities, and are not computer systems. | | |
| ▲ | inigyou 13 hours ago | parent [-] | | So it's impossible to say what could happen until it actually happens? Then I think vacuum instability will destroy the Texas court. | | |
| ▲ | 15155 13 hours ago | parent [-] | | Good luck with this theory. The site in question's domain was seized, they now have to fight to get it back. I don't think there's a vacuum so much as a wealth of "I don't like what's happening!" | | |
| ▲ | inigyou 12 hours ago | parent [-] | | There's definitely a vacuum, it's in between the atoms of the judge and the court building and I think that vacuum is metastable and will annihilate both. |

| I would think it only applies to named employees, right? |

| ▲ | Pxtl a day ago | parent | next [-] | | I'm sure there are friendly and generous humans also living in North Korea and Iran. Doesn't mean I want to risk subjecting myself to their government's authority. | |
| ▲ | 8note a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | clearly more real, non-friendly, non-generous humans live in texas, who want their government to portray itself in such a way live in texas. a reasonable number of those people is 10-15%, not 51%+ | |

| ▲ | kibwen a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | The friendly, generous humans who resoundingly endorse the corrupt Ken Paxton's actions and will overwhelmingly vote for him to serve them in the senate this year? Actions speak louder than words. With friends like Texans, who needs enemies? | |
| ▲ | antonvs a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | Until those people control the Texas government, I don’t see the relevance. I grew up in South Africa during the apartheid era, when black people weren’t allowed to vote or even participate in the economy at much beyond the level of slaves. I didn’t get upset when people criticized South Africa, or boycotted it, because the country’s actions certainly justified that. The entire US is in much the same situation now: in the process of flushing democratic governance down the toilet, elevating open corruption to the standard way of doing business, and flirting with authoritarianism to a degree virtually unimaginable just a few years ago. In that context, the #notalltexans whine sounds rather muffled from all that sand you’ve stuck your head in. | | |
