This law is needed but will it stand up to the assault by the left that controls most of the these sites?
Florida fights back against big tech: Sunshine state makes it ILLEGAL for social media giants to censor conservative posts with Gov DeSantis blasting that firms are 'suppressing free speech'
Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill on Monday that seeks to punish social media platforms that remove 'conservative ideas' from their sites
But it's questionable whether Florida will be able to enforce it as Federal law prevents internet companies from being sued for removing posts and federal law trumps state law when there is a conflict
The new law will enable the state to fine large social media companies $250,000 a day if they remove an account of a statewide political candidate
It will allow fines of $25,000 a day if they remove an account of someone running for a local office
The bill targets social media platforms that have more than 100 million monthly users, which include online giants as Twitter and Facebook
But lawmakers carved out an exception for Disney and its apps by including that theme park owners wouldn't be subject to the law
