Platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube could be fined up to $250,000 per day
A controversial new bill has been passed by both houses of US state Florida that would stop tech companies from "deplatforming" politicians.
Governor Ron DeSantis, a Republican and close Trump ally, is expected to sign the legislation which allows platforms to suspend accounts, but only for 14 days, and could fine the platforms as much as $250,000 per day for violating the law, according to
Donald Trump was banned by Twitter and suspended by Facebook and YouTube after the deadly Capitol Hill riots in January.
The Florida bill would prohibit social media companies from knowingly “deplatforming” political candidates, meaning a service could not “permanently delete or ban” a candidate.
