Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Monday that blocks social media companies like Twitter and Facebook from “knowingly” deplatforming politicians.
The bill, SB 7072, was proposed in February, weeks after former President Donald Trump was banned from Facebook and Twitter.
“This will lead to more speech, not less speech,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said during a press conference at the Florida International University in Miami Monday. “Because speech that’s inconvenient to the narrative will be protected.”
“This session, we took action to ensure that ‘We the People’ — real Floridians across the Sunshine State — are guaranteed protection against the Silicon Valley elites,” DeSantis said. “If Big Tech censors enforce rules inconsistently, to discriminate in favor of the dominant Silicon Valley ideology, they will now be held accountable.”
