DeSantis said the bill, signed at Florida International University in Miami by the Republican governor, cracks down on what he called social media “censorship” while safeguarding Floridians’ ability to access social media platforms.

“One of their major missions seems to be suppressing ideas that are either inconvenient to the narrative or which they personally disagree with,” DeSantis said.

The bill also imposes hefty financial penalties against social media platforms that suspend the accounts of political candidates. The bill would fine companies $250,000 a day for doing so.

DeSantis launched his offensive against social media companies in February when he accused platforms like Facebook and Twitter of censoring conservative ideology.

Some of the big companies would pay $250,000 without batting an eye.

Like 10 days before an Election, they spend that much in other ways to defeat Conservatives.

Feinstein’s Chief of staff raised many Millions easily to gift to a Steele and Fusion GPS to keep spy rumors coming that they could launder and obfuscate the source.

Still, I applaud DeSantis.
