Florida Passes Law Preventing Woke Social Media from Muzzling Politicians

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis promised to end this woke nonsense surrounding social media bans. Donald Trump has been purged from Facebook and Twitter—and that was when he was still president. The leader of the free world was banned. So, to prevent politicians from being muzzled, Florida has passed a law that would ban these companies from enacting bans. He put Big Tech on notice this February, and now it’s here (via The Hill):

The Florida House and Senate voted this week to pass legislation that would prohibit social media companies from banning politicians.

Fines for social media companies that try to ban politicians from their platforms could add up to $250,000 a day for statewide politicians and $25,000 a day for other elected officials, the Sun-Sentinel reported.

The bill, which still allows for politicians to be suspended for two weeks and for individual posts to be taken down if they violate the company’s policies, is now headed to Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.

So they'll just ban the politicians two weeks at a time.

And keep taking down posts.

Nice try, but a fairly useless law.  It'd be nice to think the fines would scare the techies into cooperating some, but not very realistic.

Nothing scares the techies. They know they have the upper hand. Viable conservative competition with free speech would be the only thing that would scare them.

A shame our side never learned to fight dirty.

Well a lot of them fought dirty with Trump but all in all it's never too late to learn
