Gov. Ron DeSantis is ready to take on “Big Tech” with sanctions on companies like Facebook and Twitter for censoring conservative voices.
Social media companies de-platformed former President Donald Trump for his role in the insurrection at the nation’s Capitol on Jan. 6.
DeSantis made the announcement during a news conference at the State Capitol on Tuesday. One proposal introduced in the state Senate would force social media platforms to give users a month’s notice before disabling their accounts, according to the Associated Press. Another proposal would fine the social media giants each day if they suspend the account of a statewide candidate, according to the AP.
