“TCA and Time Warner need not prove that they will sustain a quantifiable economic injury. Cf. Minneapolis Star & Tribune Co. v. Minn. Comm'r of Revenue , 460 U.S. 575 , 588, 103 S.Ct. 1365 , 75 L.Ed.2d 295 (1983) (observing that 'the very selection of the press for special treatment threatens the press not only with the current differential treatment, but with the possibility of subsequent differentially more burdensome treatment' and '[t]hus, even without actually imposing an extra burden on the press, the government might be able to achieve censorial effects'). S.B. 5 subjects the plaintiffs to disparate treatment ... Because the legislation targets the plaintiffs for exclusion from this benefit provided to similarly situated speakers, TCA and Time Warner have shown constitutional injury sufficient to establish standing.”
