> At some point in the future, Texans who visit social media sites might be greeted with a pop-up screen saying something like: “The content you are about to see contains graphic violence, white supremacist imagery and other objectionable material. If you don’t want to be exposed, click here.”

Depending on how fine-grained (and how repeated) these pop-ups are, I'm optimistic that they will be accepted as both fully compliant with the new law, and also a great benefit to the principle of freedom of speech (for humans, if not for corporations).
