What's new in Duhsantistan? Bloggers must register with the state

[TNHarley]

Is that not what he is doing in the video supporting supposed 'digital rights' or am I missing something?

Different bill

 

[BlindBoo]

If the bloggers are making money off of it it puts them in a whole other category than just you or me spouting off.

Freedom of the press doesn't come with state registration requirements, with required reports submitted to the state over articles written about state officials.

What about those doing a blog on gardening?

As long as they don't write about government officials.....gardening practices for example, they wouldn't even have to register.

Exactly

which is at the heart of the problem with the bill

Sounds pretty "third world" to me.

DeSantis wants Florida to be a shithole country, apparently.

He wants Florida to be a mixture of Russia, the middle east and north Korea. It is really sick.

Yep. It's not a coincidence. CPAC was held in such a right wing authoritarian state. The people that spoonfeed this stuff to the moron DeSantis are watching these right wing authoritarian countries very closely. They openly admit that they appreciate their leaders' policies.

Bloggers don't normally have carte blanche press credentials as do print/on-air media.

I am actually shocked that people are shocked that Republicans are bending over backwards to support this.....


I will tell you again....the GOP will nominate a fascist and be proud of it...

 

[Failzero]

Democommies are the real control freaks

 

[Hutch Starskey]

registering your business and requiring a business license isn’t censorship

Loser.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

What's the penalty for non-compliance?

A gold star sewn into their clothing?

 

[Hutch Starskey]

If it gives you heartburn the view was worth the climb.

Yet the Democrats force folks to bake cakes or take wedding pictures and get Clot Shots

No ody was forced to get the vaccine.

Face it.. there is no oppression of you white wingers. You try to invent some to justify your own piggish behavior.

you’re shocked that members of the press engaged in business have to register with the state? really? how are they suppose to get a tax ID code?

 

[busybee01]

most states require people to register their business with the state…it’s called a business license

Free speech is protected by the Constitution. Owning a business is not.

registering your business and requiring a business license isn’t censorship

Registering to exercise your free speech rights is censorship.
