Florida Gov. DeSantis Has Just Signed A Bill Into Law That Would Allow Everyday Floridians To Sue Big Tech Platforms For Monetary Damages

[busybee01]

I love this solution. It won't matter if Blue states don't follow suit. All the red state lawsuits will bankrupt the Big tech companies.

​

The big tech companies are not basecd in Florida. They cannot enforce it across state lines. It is meaningless.

Another conservative who's a constitutional illiterate.

Another fascist Democrat who ignores the Constitution until it serves you.

I actually agree that the Constitutionality of the law is dubious. But wow, your hypocrisy compared to the left silencing free speech just REEKS

Republicans are the ones silencing free speech.

this is not a Republican or Democrat thing.

Why should big tech get a government liability shield? What interest does that serve?

Big tech fucked up. Big tech should not have been playing the games they were playing. Now they get no liability protection.

I'll be sure to work up some tears and snot on behalf of big tech and their loss of government protection. How sad.

Tech companies have every right to use their property as they see fit. They have no liability for what is said on their network. This is a Republican thing. The Republican Party subsists on hate. This law will be thrown out. Federal law supercedes state laws.

I don't know about "those sites". I only know about this site. Which is what the poster was referring to.

Then why did you make a comment about sites you don't know about.

You are proving very quickly to be just another Leftist Fraud.

I didn't make a comment about sites I don't know about. The chain of comments were talking about this site.

If you can't keep up, don't blame someone else's politics (or your accusations about their politics).

This format sucks ...I am not the only one who gets lost in the process.

You are free to speak and nobody owes you an audience, venue or platform.

Yes they do. Facebook and youTube made certain promises to it's vendors. They can't later renege on those promises without paying a price.

They are free to say or not say whatever they like. Their customers are free to sue them, just like any other publication.

They are not publishers. Publishers pay people to write things. Social media does not.

 

[busybee01]

Only of politicians running for office.

Doesn’t matter. It’s compelling speech.

To some extent. However, I don't have a problem with it since Facebook is nothing more than a propaganda organ now, and it's a monopoly.

Ah, so you’re okay with violating the constitution as long as it supports your politicians?

Kinda sounds a little fascist.

It's a government protected monopoly. It should have been split up long ago.

It’s not a government protected monopoly.

But you do have a justification for acting a little like a fascist.

Of course it's a government protected monopoly. That's irrefutable. Rule 230 is a federal regulation that protects it, and it's clearly a monopoly. It's far more of a monopoly than Standard Oil ever was.

Section 230 applies to every other website too. Hard to say government protects a monopoly when it extends that protection to literally every one of their competitors.

Speaking of section 230, this law attempts to break it, however the supremacy clause would prevent that.

Man, Floridians really don’t understand how government works.

It doesn't apply to publishers. It claims to apply only to "platforms." Facebook is operating like a publisher, not a platform.

I've already explained this to you at least 1000 times.

Facebook has no competitors, moron.

No they are not. Publishers pay people to write things. Social media does not.

They do business in Florida. Leftists just constantly make shit up

The tech companies are not based in Florida. They are not subject to Florida laws.

LOL, making up your shit again.

DOING BUSINESS in a state subjects you to it's laws, not just being based there.

You are yet again just completely full of shit

Where a company is based matters. They would have to sue in federal court. It will then be declared unconstitutional.

Where a company operates matters you dumb fuck. You need to go back to law school.

A company that uses a internet connection does not have a physical location. You need to try studying law.

Nazi liberals are going to hate this

This is a joke.. DeSantis is playing for a headline.

Nope. He just stuck a dagger into the belly of the big tech monster.

You ready to sue US Message Board if they kick you off?

Facebook is not US Message Board.

They are the same type of entity. US Message Board can ban a user or take down a post that violates the terms of the agreement. Facebook can do the same thing.

You obviously haven't read the law. No worries, I expected no more. Democrats never research what you are saying, you just make it up

It will be declared unconstitutional. Social media has free speech rights as well.Try reading the Constitution.

What a moron, read the discussion when you are commenting on it, ditzy chick

You are the moron. Try reading the Constitution.

Interesting
Now that the genie is out of the bottle, I hope we can use it wisely.

I think social media did fail to deliver its primary potential benefit so let’s see how it goes.

It won't survive its first court challenge. Politician is not a protected class.

 

[busybee01]

DeSantis! The Gov., who could be President!

DeSantis can win a primary but he can't win a general. He is launching assaults on voting and free speech rights. He is telling unemployed people to drop dead. Americans will not accept a hatemonger like DeSantis.

 

[WEATHER53]

Anybody ever visited the conservative cave or Politics forums.....those conservative mods will ban you quicker than any liberal board will....both of them have a good ole boy network going....they suck up to the mod and control the board...they do not like any newbies that are smarter than they are.

I call bullshit on that ....

I dont because when you go to the conservative cave you know in advance where you are going
Facebook presents itself as neutral and then Isnt.

 

[skye]

DeSantis is America's Governor!

Another angle is I would like to see the effect of it for a bit just as observation

 

[K9Buck]

I believe that you are correct. There is no law that prohibits discriminating against conservatives.

 

[WEATHER53]

Don’t be so sure what federal law supersedes because we are still in The midst of federal declarations meaning squat when coming to Covid and masks and the other lingering bullshit.

Unfortunately these Big Tech companies have got so big and become an everyday part of American life that they have to be held accountable for being shitheads.

How funny .. You don't hold Trump accountable for lies, slander, threats, negligence. Why not? You don't have to put up with that crap.

Funny but you stupid Moon Bats think that any criticism of making the US a Socialist shithole is somehow hate speech or something.

You sure as hell didn't hold the Worthless Negro, Crooked Hillary or Joe Dufus accountable for their lies, slander, threats, negligence and stupidity, do you?

tweeter and facebook allow Dem allies like The Iranian Supreme Leader to push terrorism at will, but dare question nancy p, you get banned

Why do conservatives always engage in over-the-top hyperbole which clearly is not true?

Facebook is not US Message Board.

Same rules.. This board is privately owned just like facebook. DeSantis is too stupid for words.

Nope. Facetoob has rules that they apply in an unfair way. You can post as a middle Eastern terrorist, but if you challenge the big tech lies, they boot you.

Time for big tech to get a taste of their own medicine.

Besides Trump, how many politicians in Florida can you name who've been banned?

 

[colfax_m]

Because social media websites wouldn’t exist without it.

Whoopie fucking doo. They will be sued into oblivion.

Or Bolivian, if you're Mike Tyson.

FUCK THEM. GO TO FUCKING HELL!!!

Jesus, Trump really turned you into a broken person.

 

[colfax_m]

Their laws still are bounded by the constitution. This law violates it.
