Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Monday signed a law that will penalize social media companies like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, that ban politicians from their platforms.
The law seeks to hold Big Tech companies accountable for content moderation practices. According to The New York Times, DeSantis signing the law was a direct response to Facebook and Twitter s bans of former President Donald Trump in January.
Ron DeSantis said the law would allow them to sue social media companies for up to $100,000 in damages for each proven claim.
In a press conference, the Florida governor also said that the measure would require companies to detail how they reach conclusions about content moderation, Fox News reported.
