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.
Lol! Even Dotard’s 6-3 SCOTUS ain’t gonna take away social media’s 1st amendment right to set their own rules.
This baby is DOA. Tell Trumpy Boy in FL to spend his time on something semi-constructive
This law does no such thing. It simply requires disclosure and consistent moderation OR pay damages.
Exactly.Irrelevant. Getting rid of sedition 230 is going to make it impossible for any platform to effectively moderate anything that I mentioned.Sorry, turd, but allowing people to have opinions about Covid or the election does not translate to "anti-semitism, misogyny, racism, harassment and generally disgusting behavior."Ruined it? You are trying to turn every website into an unceasing cesspool of anti-semitism, misogyny, racism, harassment and generally disgusting behavior.You idiots already ruined it, douchebag.Why are you idiots trying to ruin the internet?The Facebook monopoly wouldn't exist, anyway.Because social media websites wouldn’t exist without it.Why should big tech get a government liability shield? What interest does that serve?
And you’re trying to stop websites from being able to do anything about it.
That's leftwing dogma.
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.
Wait until he finds out he has no such powers. Now Facebook, Twitter, and all of the other major platforms need to block all Florida IP addresses. The entertainment value will be to much.
I hope they do block out the entire state of Florida. DO IT!!!
Next? TEXAS!
How many users can Facebook lose over this? I hope it's a billion. Crash that stock!!!

Trump needs money again?
No, it is NOT. Social media can ban whomever or whatever, as long as they are transparent and consistent. And even if they are not, its civil liability, not government action.It's a violation of freedom, that's enough for me to oppose it.
The Florida Law. Read it.What? Who says? Which law? Does USMB also have a legal duty to be transparent and consistent in its moderation??
That's right, it's a fascist move by the GOP that will be declared illegal and unconstitutional in time.This isn't the fairness doctrine, moron.Wait a minute. There used to be something called equal time, or what was called the fairness doctrine. It required media companies to provide equal time to matters that involved the public's interest, including political candidates. You know who eliminated that provision? The Reagan administration. So piss off. You live by the sword, you die by the sword.They are not forcing anything except requiring them to platform all political candidates. All this does is provide for civil liability.This isn’t about free speech. It’s about government forcing industry to serve the interests of a political party.Of course, we all know the real reason you oppose this law is that you are a fucking NAZI who likes having the opposition censored and doesn't give a damn about freedom of speech.
Which is, wait for it, a little fascist.
It just requires social media to be transparent or pay damages.
The Fairness Doctrine did not required networks to give equal time to opposing views. Just opposing views,
However it was still a weapon .
And why would you want all platforms to be unmoderated?Exactly
Whenever a lefty starts waxing sanctimoniously about the Constitution, I bust out laughing.I've never seen any convincing evidence that conservatives care about the constitution.Riiiight.Sure they will, once somebody wins one. Then the flood gates will open. Bye Bye Facebook.You think the EXTREMELY liberal John Morgan is going to take any of this crap on contingency?We have plenty of lawyers down here in Florida, and no one has to pay unless those lawyers win the case....Just like the big case with Tobacco quite a few years ago, you can bet those hungry lawyers are getting ready for a very big pay day....Is Florida going to cover their legal bills when they lose?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.
JUST IN - Florida Gov. DeSantis has just signed a bill into law that would allow everyday Floridians to sue Big Tech Platforms for monetary damages.
At Morgan & Morgan, we believe everyone is entitled to quality legal representation regardless of how much money they make. Our attorneys work on a contingency-fee basis — we don’t get paid unless you win — so that you can afford to hire an excellent attorney to protect your interests.

Loser cases each and every one.
No responsible and respectable lawyer is going to take these "cases" on contingency. Of course that does leave those great Trump election lawyers. They won lots of those cases didn't they?
This stinking pile never makes it past the first legal test.
Bank it!
When there's something they want (like a virtually limitless right to carry firearms around almost anywhere they go) they'll talk about the 2nd Amendment.
However, when there's something conservatives don't like (like abortion, or Facebook's right to manage their own platform and sanction people who violate their terms of service) then they're fine with a state passing a law which attempts to usurp federal law even though the constitution prohibits individual states from doing so.
They've VERY flexible that way.
It's the very same reason conservatives felt like they should be able to overturn the 2020 election, regardless of what the constitution states.
You won’t find anything but a D grade ambulance chaser to take one of these on a contingency.We have plenty of lawyers down here in Florida, and no one has to pay unless those lawyers win the case....Just like the big case with Tobacco quite a few years ago, you can bet those hungry lawyers are getting ready for a very big pay day....Is Florida going to cover their legal bills when they lose?I love this solution.

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.
This is very juvenile.. Facebook doesn't want to be a party to lies and slander, character assassination dangerous medical advice.. They have that right. You should start your own platform that admires that sort of garbage.
well that’s not true. they simply want to be a party to the views they agree with and censor others
which is fine and their right
they can publish and edit whatever they want
but they should be treated just like other publishers and not get extra protections and immunities
There's a place for lies, slander, dangerous medical advice, personal attacks and insane conspiracy theories. Maybe Conservative Treehouse or WMD would be appropriate for Trump.
You do realize that Facebook allows slander, lies, conspiracy theories, etc but only if these favor a certain political party. I guess you forgot to mention that part. They are not applying their policy in good faith, as they are required by section 230. Therein lies the problem. Either they equally apply their rules or they lose 230 protection. It is as simple as that.
Exactly and libbies are desperately trying to dance around that and failing.
Facebook invites you in, presenting itself as a communication platform. Nowhere does it require you to acknowledge that fact or opinion shares are subject to censure.
Then, when you begin to post pro Trump commentary you are suddenly censored or removed
thats the problem, that’s the illegality, that’s the one way street of communication, and that’s the silly and outrageous babying that Facebook is trying to impose .
Ever read the terms before you click, I Agree? I don't.

Whistling past the graveyard.
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.
Which is an unconstitutional abridgment of their freedom of speech.It simply requires disclosure and consistent moderation OR pay damages.

Sorry, courts ain’t gonna touch determining even handedness at moderation.
But go ahead - You’ll make a lotta lawyers even richer!
Every step he takes its the right one! DeSantis has the pulse of the Nation!! Bless him!
This is why we can’t have nice things.Because the so-called "moderators" are all biased douchebags like you.
Pretty soon these loons will be demanding that WaPo print their 2,000 word op-ed.Florida is starting that process. It’s not a matter of what I want, it’s a matter that social media in general is false advertising and very discriminatory as to what type of customer it will permit. Again, private does not mean do whatever you want to.There's no way that government can force it to be what you want.Social media need rebooting anyway
It became mostly anti social media and never achieved anything near its potential to be a discussion of various topics with input exchange of ideas. Instead it has been mostly a name calling forum with very selective censorship of who gets to say what.
Gov. DeSantis’s Proposed Law Penalizing Social Media Companies for De-Platforming Politicians Is ‘Hilariously Unconstitutional’
Gov. DeSantis’s Proposed Law Penalizing Social Media Companies for De-Platforming Politicians Is ‘Hilariously Unconstitutional’
The pro-Trump Republican zealously advocated for a series of self-styled anti-censorship laws that three legal experts contacted by Law&Crime noted amount to unconstitutional compulsory speech for private companies—in direct contravention of U.S. Supreme Court precedent.lawandcrime.com
That 1974 case, Miami Herald v. Tornillo, was cited by all three experts Law&Crime contacted.
“The Supreme Court struck down the law, ruling that it violated the newspapers’ First Amendment right to choose which content to run or not run,” Cohn said. “In invalidating that law, the Court expressly rejected the very same argument people make for regulating content moderation today: that concentration of ownership and ‘monopoly of the means of communication’ justifies forcing private parties to carry certain speech. But the Court found it unconstitutional then, and it remains unconstitutional now.”
Professor Daxton “Chip” Stewart, a media law expert who referred to the proposal as “hilariously unconstitutional,” said that DeSantis exhibited a fundamental misunderstanding of corporations’ rights.
“Basically, DeSantis seems to forget that private companies like Facebook and Twitter have First Amendment rights, too,” Stewart noted. “The government can’t force them to host speech they don’t want to, or threaten punishment like these absurd fines for refusing to give platforms to people they find intolerable. Just as a platform can remove accounts of terrorists or the KKK or a cabal that conspires to violently overthrow the government, they can remove accounts of any other individual.”
Paying isn't what makes you a publisher, moron. Publishing is what makes you a publisher. Facebook is a publisher.It doesn't apply to publishers. It claims to apply only to "platforms." Facebook is operating like a publisher, not a platform.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.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.It’s not a government protected monopoly.It's a government protected monopoly. It should have been split up long ago.Ah, so you’re okay with violating the constitution as long as it supports your politicians?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.Doesn’t matter. It’s compelling speech.Only of politicians running for office.
Kinda sounds a little fascist.
But you do have a justification for acting a little like a fascist.
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.
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.
There's nothing nice about your police state censorship.This is why we can’t have nice things.Because the so-called "moderators" are all biased douchebags like you.
