Oh, I'm sure they're legit. Just like the two examples of when she said she was forced to change deaths, but then later said that didn't happen (because she wasn't given that info).
Somehow DeSantis thinks he has legal control over a private company's actions and imagines that this is some sort of first amendment thing. He is sadly confused. The social media companies will laugh at him signing this bill into law that will fine social media companies "deplatforming" political candidates up to $250,000 a day. All the bill does is encourage politicians to lie with impunity. And we already had enough of that.
If that graphic has any validity, please explain why TV is regulated WRT politics? Furthermore, I think that the graphic is reasonable before the internet existed. That reasoning is no longer valid in the social media world. Social media by far is the most important media platform for politicians. It is much more important than traditional media. If social media shouldn't be regulated wrt politics neither should TV, radio, or print. The only way someone can be for deplatforming is if they are an advocate for corporatocracy and laissez-faire capitalism. deplatforming = corporatacracy
Social media to follow suit: party of private property they said... party of freedom of speech they said... party of libertarians they said... what part of the word illegal don't they understand? FL taxpayers thrilled they're going to pay to take an "L" in SCOTUS
Step forward if you are a state that cruise ships will be sailing out of. Not so quick Florida. Another example of some fine "winning" by DeSantis. Norwegian and Royal Caribbean submit plans to resume sailings from ports outside Florida https://www.wesh.com/article/norweg...sailings-from-ports-outside-florida/36523419# Both Norwegian and Royal Caribbean cruise lines have submitted plans to resume voyages. None of the plans include sailing from Florida. It's been 14 months since the pandemic brought the cruise industry to a halt, and on Monday, Norwegian became the latest to announce plans to start sailing from Seattle to Alaska. "To have cruises actually saying that they're going to be sailing out of a U.S. port is significant for the industry. That being said, the CDC still has to give final approval for these sailings out of Seattle," cruise expert Chris Gray Faust said. Four different cruise lines have announced plans to sail to Alaska with fully vaccinated passengers only. Unlike Florida, Alaska has no law preventing a company from asking for proof of vaccination, so cruise lines are using the vaccination requirement as a way to get CDC approval to start sailing again. Currently, a federal order requires each ship to earn a certificate to sail by ensuring COVID-19 safety precautions are in place and proving it during a test sailing. Those requirements stand unless the cruise line commits to sailing with 98% of the crew and 95% of its passengers fully vaccinated. It is unclear when sailing will start again at Port Canaveral. Royal Caribbean has reached an agreement with the port to start the required CDC test cruises in June. Norweigan is set to sail out of Port Canaveral in November but wants to do so with 100% of its passengers and crew members fully vaccinated, and Florida law forbids asking for proof. The managing editor of CruiseCritic.com said their latest survey shows most people planning to cruise support vaccine requirements. "It's at 86% right now, but that's up 5% from January, so the idea of having to have a vaccine to cruise has actually been gaining more traction over the last few months," Faust said.
Ah yes, Alaska is a good place to substitute for Florida. I can't tell you how many times I was considering going to Florida when I thought "hell, you know what? Alaska is probably more what I'm looking for."
