"Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed a bill Monday that will fine social media platforms that try to permanently ban political candidates."
"The bill prohibits most tech companies from banning politicians in the state. Under the newly signed law, the Florida Election Commission can impose fines of $250,000 per day on any social media company that deplatforms any candidate for statewide office and $25,000 per day for deplatforming candidates for non-statewide offices."

DeSantis can't act nor move fast enough attempting to please Trump, it really has become a dog and pony show, embarrassing
Appears Ron isn't familiar with the First Amendment which prohibits the government from controlling speech on private entities. And conservatives keep telling us they love and respect the Constitution
Imagine every right wing nutcase now registering themselves in the Gunshine State as candidates for something so that they can have an outlet for their hate speech. Does this mean that say California can now pass a similar law controlling what Fox or OAN broadcast or doesn't broadcast?
