Proposed ban on "online promotion of a criminal street gang"

[Volokh, Eugene]

	From Texas S.B. No. 11, proposed penal code sec. 33.06:

	"(b) A person commits an offense if, with the intent to benefit,
to promote, or to further the interests of a criminal street gang or to
increase the person's standing, position, or status in the criminal
street gang, the person uses the Internet, including distributing,
selling, transmitting, or posting on the Internet an audio, video, or
still representation of a person engaged in criminal activity, to ...
advertise the presence of the criminal street gang
in a specific geographic location."

	Constitutionally permissible?
