DeSantis to Sign Bill Banning Social Media ‘Deplatforming,’ ‘Shadow Banning,’ ‘Censoring’
Social media companies would be unable to permanently kick people off their platforms under a tough new Florida law.

The bill, passed by the GOP-dominated state Legislature Thursday and awaiting Gov. Ron DeSantis’ signature, would make it a crime to remove state political candidates from Twitter and Facebook, and would mete out penalties of $250,000 a day for any statewide candidate who is deplatformed.

Removing more local candidates would cost the company $25,000 a day.

The bill also requires tech companies to give users seven days notice that they are at risk of being banned and offer them the opportunity to correct the issue. Suspensions of up to 14 days would still be allowed.

Does this apply to GLP as well? Since this site isn't different from social media where they shadow ban certain people, Trinity denies it but it happens here more than most think and it needs to stop.

I hope this catches on in other states, like many of DeSantis' recent moves.

It does literally nothing for people previously banned. Its only if youre running for public office.

It's literally just a do nothing show bill.

A certain person was pushing for changes in the bill but it got ignored and he got put on the no fly list.

There's a lot of auto banning at GLP, but it's mainly a way to generate paid subscriptions.

However, I believe some users have been banned for political reasons.

Yep, the bill could have been broadened, but getting the ball rolling for more people to show disgust with the increasing fascism (a merger of the state and corporate) of America is becoming more crucial as Silicon Valley and others take on the traits of Beijing-style Communism/fascism.

Hell yes.

I remember when I was on Facebook years ago and they straight banned a Trump ad. It had footage of the effects of blm on actual black business owners, I recall in the video Trump saying "love, not hate" it was a powerful video and I don't even care for Trump or vote for him.
It was taken off Facebook completely and then Trump himself banned entirely

Then covid happened and with all the censorship I just left, been happier since

When the auto bans keep rolling around, I wouldn't mind them if they at least were honest and said something like, "You have used up your free posting time at GLP. Please become a member."

But they instead have the whiff of dishonesty about them, sort of like those emails from Kenya that offer a reward for returning lost money.

This isn't good enough. It will only affect people who are running for office or in office and limiting their discrimination to only two weeks at a time.

This is another example of 'weak and sniveling response" from the right. Desantis needs to make it binding on all residents of Florida, not just political people.
