Florida House set to target social media companies
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. โ In a politically charged issue that has become a rallying cry for Gov. Ron DeSantis and many other Republicans, a House committee Tuesday will take up a proposal that targets large social-media companies that block users from their platforms. DeSantis and Republican legislative leaders last month announced they would set new requirements for social-media companies, including clearing the way for lawsuits and financial penalties against platforms that violate the requirements. The bill is targeted at large platforms, as it would apply to social-media companies that have at least $100 million in annual gross revenues or at least 100 million monthly โindividual platform participantsโ globally. The bill would allow the attorney general to file lawsuits against companies that violate the requirements and would allow individual users to file lawsuits over censorship decisions.
