Great work Governor!
As many politicians & candidates complain about Social Media Censorship, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has stepped up and presented a bold plan to tackle this big issue.
The DeSantis Social Media Censorship Crackdown Plan
includes the following actions:
• Mandatory
opt-outs from big tech’s content filters.
• A private
right of action for Floridian citizens against tech companies that violate this
condition.
• Fines of
$100,000 per day levied on tech companies that suspend candidates for elected
office in Florida from their platforms.
• Daily fines
for any tech company “that uses their content and user-related algorithms to
suppress or prioritize the access of any content related to a political
candidate or cause on the ballot.”
• Greater
transparency requirements.
• Disclosure
requirements enforced by Florida’s election authorities for tech companies that
favor one candidate over another.
• Power for
the Florida attorney general to bring cases against tech companies that violate
these conditions under the state’s Unfair and Deceptive Practices Act.
