App. 40a, and as neutral forums for the speech of others.2 These representations suggest that the covered social me- dia platforms—like the cable operators in Turner—do not generally “‘convey ideas or messages [that they have] en- dorsed.’” Hurley, 515 U. S., at 576.
The State notes that we have upheld laws requir- ing that businesses disclose “purely factual and uncontro- versial information about the terms under which [their] ser- vices will be available,” so long as those requirements are not “unjustified or unduly burdensome.” Zauderer v. Office of Disciplinary Counsel of Supreme Court of Ohio, 471 U. S. 626, 651 (1985).
Should the at- torney general bring an enforcement action for injunctive relief, applicants would then have an opportunity to argue that the statute violates the First Amendment, whether fa- cially or as applied to them.
I reiterate that I have not formed a definitive view on the novel legal questions that arise from Texas’s decision to ad- dress the “changing social and economic” conditions it per- ceives.
The Court of Appeals, after briefing and oral argument, concluded that the District Court’s order should be stayed, and a decision on the merits can be expected in the near future.

We hold that it is substantially likely that none of S.B. 7072’s content-moderation restrictions survive intermediate—let alone strict—scrutiny.
While some of these provisions are likely subject to strict scrutiny, it is substantially likely that none survive even intermediate scru- tiny.
