Pre mid term grandstanding to pretend they give a fuck about the proles, also could both parties to this suit be fired, out of a cannon, into the Sun?

Has any explanation been offered as to why the BIS would have CLOSED the investigation, if they had a finding of false advertising and insecure message handling?
That doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. You would normally (I know, nothing is normal now wrt the Federal Govt) expect a closure of the investigation to happen because they didn't find any wrongdoing?

Paxton must be worried that Meta can read his WhatsApp chats with Nate Paul and/or Laura Olson....

Wait, I'm a little confused. . . I thought Republicans were generally against E2EE encryption "because law enforcement"?

Just need a check made out to the Trump Ballroom, and all those inconveniences go away.

I'm not sure who I think has less credibility in this fight, the corrupt criminal Paxton, or the corrupt criminal enterprise Meta

Don’t worry, as soon as the election is over he’ll be back to demanding back doors in everything to spy on women who dare to seek healthcare.

You mean you don't understand how this investigation could be closed? C'mon man, just think of the extortion.

Because Zuck is already giving money to Demented Don. This investigation might interrupt that, at least temporarily, which would not benefit Paxton. Closing the investigation doesn't need to have anything at all to do with the facts of this particular charge.

I'm so glad that Texas has no crime or corruption* to keep their AG occupied. Must be nice.
*Except for Paxton's own, well-documented crime and corruption, of course.

They are more than likely upset that Facebook isn't sharing the access with them.

With the way this country is run it wouldnt surprise me if this was an attempt to get discovery to gain knowledge of the encryption algorithm to see if it could be bypassed.

Wait.. I thought the GOP wanted the market to decide these types of things. If a company is doing something wrong let the market decide right?...
