TALLAHASSEE Florida s leaders have declared war on Big Tech for what they describe as its bias against conservatives.
Governor Ron DeSantis joined legislative leaders, including State Senate President Wilton Simpson and State Representative Blaise Ingoglia of Spring Hill, to roll out proposals to crack down on social media after deplatforming of leading figures including former President Trump.
DeSantis and lawmakers want to make it illegal to deplatform any candidate for public office, with fines of $100,000 per day for tech companies that do it. He also wants to prohibit tech companies from making money off personal data. He also wants to declare it a political contribution when a tech company appears to favor one candidate over another, pointing to Twitter s ban on the New York Post story on Hunter Biden s laptop during the campaign.
