Florida Gov. DeSantis Proposes Law Limiting Big Tech's Censorship
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis introduced a law on Tuesday that would fight back against big tech’s censorship of Conservatice social media accounts and would specifically target Facebook, Twitter, Google, Amazon, and Apple.
"What began as a group of upstart technology 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," said DeSantis during a press conference. “These platforms have played an increasingly decisive role in elections and have negatively impacted Americans who descend from orthodoxies favored by the big tech cartel.”
"That's why in Florida we're gonna take aim at those companies and pull back the veil and make sure those guys don't continue to find loopholes and grey areas to live above the law," DeSantis continued. "Under our proposal, if a technology company de-platforms a candidate for elected office in Florida during an election, that company will face a daily fine of $100,000 until the candidate's access to the platform is restored."
"Used to be that consumers were trusted to make their own decisions about what information to consume, about which leaders to ‘follow,' about what news to watch," added DeSantis. "Now those decisions are increasingly made by nameless, faceless boards of sensors."
There has been no comment from any of the big tech giants on this proposed piece of legislation.
