Fla.'s Moves to Limit Big Tech in Censorship, 'Political Manipulation'

[Newsmax] Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday proposed a law that would combat big tech's "censorship" of right-wing political candidates and blasted the "monopoly of communications platforms" that "monitor and control" Floridians.

The legislation will target Facebook, Twitter, Google, Amazon, and Apple, according to Florida House Speaker Chris Sprowls.

The bill, if passed, would prevent platforms from rapidly changing standards, allow people to opt out of content algorithms, create a "cause of action" pathway for legal action and fine tech companies $100,000 daily for "deplatforming" political candidates.
I'd be more impressed if it were more than just politicians who would be protected from deplatforming

Start with politicians, then expand the definition to include anyone talking about politics, etc.

#1 A business license, taxes and fees for every byte in and out of Florida will go a long way to to make them take into account the interests of Floridians.

#2 Now this is a little more on the mark. Everyone is protected, not just politicians.

#3 The dems will soon identify DeSantis as being in the same threat category as Noem with respect to their future plans. Much of the backstabbing you see other GOPe senators and governors doing right now is about positioning themselves as being "acceptable" frontmen for the faux opposition going forward.

#4 It's time: Republic of Florida. Add Texas and the other Gulf Coast States, plus OK, AR, TN, KY, WV.

Maybe the north central / Great Plains states and Rocky Mtn states can also join. NM too if Xiden persists in strangling them.
