At a press conference earlier today, DeSantis highlighted the importance of the issue.

“What began as a group of upstart companies from the west coast has since transformed into an industry of monopoly communications platforms that monitor, influence, and control the flow of information in our country and among our citizens, and they do this to an extent hitherto unimaginable,” said DeSantis.

“These platforms have changed from neutral platforms that provided Americans with the freedom to speak to enforcers of preferred narratives. Consequently, these platforms have played an increasingly decisive role in elections, and have negatively impacted Americans who dissent from orthodoxies favored by the Big Tech cartel.”

DeSantis accused the tech giants of “clear viewpoint discrimination,” highlighting the censorship of Donald Trump and the removal of Parler from the internet and Apple and Google-controlled app stores.

“The core issue here is this: are consumers going to have the choice to consume the information they choose, or are oligarchs in Silicon Valley going to make those choices for us? No group of people should exercise such power, especially not tech billionaires in Northern California.”

Love the $100k fines each day an official Florida State Candidate is suspended. Loomer!

And mandatory opt-out from content filters. "This is disputed"

Why is the fine so low?

That's nothing to these companies. It should be 1% of revenue per day.

FL has a governator with BALLS. Unfortunately for us, TX governor is just pretending to have balls. Nothing of this kind is coming from TX, just useless noise.

Is it wrong that I’m lusting after the conservative leadership of Florida’s governor?

He fucked over a vacation with his early Covid actions for me. So I have a little resentment towards that fucker. Otherwise I think he's probably in the running for 2024 if he wants to be. Still has a bit of that old guard feel to him, but you can't argue FL covid numbers and the fact it's not a commie state that would suck to live in.

I bet this is all grandstanding.

We have to destroy the big tech old guard, and then on top of that, take it out of our hands so we cannot be pressured to tweak it when some thug shows up to make suggestions on what should be added as a "feature".

That's the only way.

no, just "testicularly challenged"
He talks up a good game but when he acts, he copies FL laws...but only after taking the teeth out of them.
