I am glad he’s doing something at a time when most others have fully capitulated. Good for him. Only question is whether $100,000 a day would make a difference? That is $36.5 million, which may sound like a fortune to many but is (literally) not even a rounding error to the big tech companies. Is this another of those ‘moral victories’ I keep hearing about or is this about making them change their habits?

And Florida isn’t exactly North Dakota or Rhode Island. Probably the most influential state after Texas.

100,000 grand a day is a drop in the bucket to these companies.

Make it 100 million a day. Thats the only way to get compliance from libtards who dont want to part with their own cash.

Should be 100k per day fined to each board member and each member of the management team. Personally.

As well as arrest and public shaming

He’s my choice starting out of the gate .......but we ALL must do something about the cheating in these swing states or it’ll be all for nought. There has to be a plan in place for these state legislatures to combat the fraud

A governor who openly defies DC might refuse to enforce tyrannical decrees as well.

Being governor he could activate the state guard - which in Florida would number millions - far more than the military could risk clashing with.

As militia commander he can order the state sheriffs to enforce or not enforce this or that policy, and remove any sheriff who doesn’t comply.

Interesting - what happened during the civil war in fact.

Does that mean if FR bans or suspends a participant, or if the moderators remove a post, FR will be subject to a fine of $100K per day?

Democrats should be deplatformed so I don’t think this is a good policy.

YES! Fauci never would have played such a prominent and destructive role if DeSantis would have been at the helm of the covid task force...

The 100k could go to families of fallen law enforcement.

Only question is whether $100,000 a day would make a difference?

It might make the tech companies think hard, if that money was given to the victims of those companies, like Parler and Trump the MyPillow guy.
