Florida Republicans move against social media companies

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida Republicans are sending a measure to Gov. Ron DeSantis that would punish social media companies that the lawmakers assert discriminate against conservative thought.

The Republican governor had urged lawmakers to deliver the legislation to his desk as part of a broader effort to regulate Big Tech companies — in how they collect and use information they harvest from consumers and in how social media platforms treat their users.

The law would require a social media company to inform users if their posts have been removed and explain how it became aware of the post and why it moved to censor the user.
