Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he plans to sign the Transparency in Technology Act into law. (Governor s Office)
FLORIDA When Gov. Ron DeSantis signs the Transparency in Technology Act, Florida will become the first state in the nation to penalize social media companies for banning political candidates.
In one of its final acts before ending the 2021 legislative session April 30, the Florida House voted 77-38 and the Senate 23-17 to approve and forward a bill to DeSantis that would prohibit social media companies such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube from deplatforming, or banning, posts by political candidates.
A group of Florida lawmakers is hoping there’s still time this session to move legislation forward that would expand marijuana use beyond the state’s current medical-only program. They’re also hoping to stop legislation some worry could shrink the current program.
