Florida to become first state to punish social media sites that 'deplatform' politicians

Florida is set to become first state to punish social media sites that 'deplatform' politicians with fines of up to $250,000 a DAY

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is set to sign bill that will prohibit social media companies from permanently deleting or banning Floridian politicians

Suspensions of up to 14 days would still be allowed, and platforms can remove individual posts that violate terms of service, the bill says

The House version of the bill would fine social media platforms $25,000 a day if a political candidate is deplatformed

Democrats say this bill is a political reaction to Trump being banned from Facebook and Twitter after the capitol riots

Republicans argue the bill is meant to protect Floridians' First Amendment right

I would be surprised if that legislation makes it past the first court challenge.
