[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. |
