Florida free speech law sees support from 11 states as Alabama joins legal fight against Big Tech
Florida S.B. 7072 gives all Floridians the ability to sue Big Tech companies if they feel they have been treated unfairly
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall joined 10 other attorneys general in submitting an appeal in support of what Marshall describes as a Florida "free speech law under assault by Big Tech."
Marshall and the other attorneys general from Florida, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, South Carolina and Texas are pushing back against Big Tech companies' efforts to take legal action against Senate Bill 7072 through trade associations representing Facebook, Google and Twitter.
"For daring to protect her citizens’ freedom of speech, Florida is being demonized by the giants of Big Tech, which have the gall to claim that invalidating the Sunshine State’s anti-censorship law is necessary ‘to protect Florida consumers, small businesses, and free speech,'" Marshall said in a Wednesday statement.

If only there were a way for -the people- to own those big tech companies, then we could dictate whether or not what they're doing counts as censorship!
What would we call this brand new idea of SOCIAL ownership of the means of production?

BLUEXITA Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red
Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.
It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.
This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
Restricting dangerously misleading or even lethal things is well within these company's rights. Dangerous pseudoscience and alternative cure shit is as dangerous as stuff showing you how to make bombs being posted.
WTF?Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the bill into law in May, but a federal judge in June temporarily prevented the governor from implementing the legislation after siding with two trade associations that argued parts of the law may violate the First Amendment by requiring social media sites to host speech they otherwise would not and by interfering with their editorial judgment.
if they are using "editorial judgement" then Section 230 doesnt apply.
Our courts are a mess. clueless and politicized just like every last bit of of the rest of our government

So "free speech" now means that government tells companies what they can and cannot publish on their own websites?
