    Florida's new cancel culture law for social media companies could apply to Trump's shiatty blog the moment he allows comments.

    Oh, please. If we were to rack up how much effort is spent on both sides of the aisle to garner support and votes for Democrats OR Republicans, we'd be here until the end of time discussing it.

    If you believe the left doesn't do the exact same thing to appeal to low IQ voters on the other side of the aisle, then maybe you're one of those low IQ voters?

    I understand folks like Spike Trader thinking this way - that boy is as dumb as a box of rocks. But you're much smarter than that to go with the mock outrage tactic.

    So low IQ, they'll pay for DeCuntis to go to court and get his ass handed to him, all the while yelling "please give us more culture war DeCuntis!"

    DeSantis has already shown he is willing to spend tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars in lawsuits trying to stop the release of COVID data to the media -- releases that are required by Florida's Sunshine laws. Yet he persists in trying to hide the data and delaying its release. He has lost every single one of these suits. It is a wonder that taxpayers put up with this nonsense. Of course, he will be happy to use taxpayers dollars to use the courts to sue media companies to make political points -- even if his legal grounds have no basis in constitutional law.

    I mean, I've been telling you "cancel culture" isn't real and merely a power grab con for over a year.

  6. Because DeSantis actions don't indicate he feels this is just for show.... he supported a law to prevent cruiseships from requiring vaccines and now this...

    I think he actually thinks he can do these things which is in line with his support for Trump who believed whatever he said was law.

    And De Santis graduated cum Laude from Harvard Law.
    He knows what he is doing even if it is a long shot.
    If he can survive summary judgment and get to discovery... he wins big
    for all of us.

    He understands he has to get the ball rolling on this.

    If private companies wish to be protected from law suits by the things other people write on their sites... then they have should at most have a very narrowly defined right to edit for dangerous content.

    America became America because we believe in the market place of ideas...not Prada controlling what people think and read.

    DeSantis may lose on this... but at a national if see that major media (social) can edit away viewpoints which critique the govt or the party line or masks or safety...then we are only a generation or 2 from that dystopia corporate controlled future which Rollerball and 1984.

    There will be the elite who run the world through the corps connected to the banks... and then there will be surfs... slaving for them with no place to rally.

    If you all don't support what De Santis is doing... you are a drone.
    This is vital for the health of Western life as we know it.

    It has nothing to do with Trump, I can't believe you think it does.

    DeSantis is quite obviously a contender for future potential Presidential runs. He's going to play to a vacuum of power in that spot. I would be surprised if he didn't.
