Speaking as a Texan who thinks Paxton is one of the slimiest ass-skids to ever skulk the face of the earth, his office has been notably aggressive in pursuing an anti-FAANG/big tech agenda for years now.
Is it driven by a cynical PR strategy rather than a genuine interest in civil liberties? Most definitely. But it’s considerably more than a lot of other states have done, and politics makes strange bedfellows.

Would not expect Texas to go to bat for this. Maybe they'd be okay if they were doing it to hurt women or something

Guaranteed some politician is worried about his wife seeing he was watching some nasty porn on the family tv

Screenshots might expose child porn viewers. Makes perfect sense.

Tbh the government doing the right thing for the wrong reasons is the best most people in the states can hope for these days.

Texas, like a lot of political entities, is strongly opposed to letting anyone else invade your privacy. They want a monopoly.
