The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has agreed to rehear en banc a closely watched challenge to Texas’s online content-filtering law, setting up a significant new round in the courts over how far states can go in requiring platforms to screen content for minors.

The case concerns a Texas statute that imposes filtering obligations on online companies when underage users are involved.

Meta Platforms has reportedly agreed to a sweeping $17.1 billion settlement with 29 states to resolve allegations tied to harms suffered by children and teens on Facebook and Instagram. Beyond the headline number, the deal is notable for pairing monetary relief with operational reforms aimed at how the platforms design, market, and manage products used by minors.

That combination makes the resolution especially significant.
