Big Blitz Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) The best Governor in America: Florida governor Ron DeSantis declares war on big tech 'cartels' and vows to fine Facebook and Twitter $100,000 a day if they censor any lawmaker in his state In a press conference on Tuesday, DeSantis issued a series of recommendations that are expected to be included in legislation as the Transparency in Technology Act, saying 'Big Tech' is becoming more like 'Big Brother' with 'each passing day.' DeSantis said that Florida would fine social media firms - like Facebook and Twitter - $100,000 per day if they ban any candidate running for elected office in the state. The Republican's proposed legislation would also require firms to give notice of changes in their terms of service, allow people to opt out of content algorithms, and create a 'cause of action' pathway for legal action against tech firms. Florida's proposed Transparency in Technology Act aims to 'protect privacy' from the expanding powers of Big Tech firms because the system is rigged, he claimed. 'What began as a group of upstart technology companies from the west coast, has since transformed into an industry of monopoly communications platforms that monitor, influence, and control the flow of information in our country and among our citizens,' said Mr DeSantis. 'Used to be that consumers were trusted to make their own decisions about what information to consume, about which leaders to 'follow,' about what news to watch. Now those decisions are increasingly made by nameless, faceless boards of censors,' he added. Another part of the Republican lawmaker's proposal is to list free promotion of posts made by candidates as in-kind political contributions. 'In Florida we're gonna take aim at those companies and pull back the veil and make sure those guys don't continue to find loopholes and grey areas to live above the law,' he added. DeSantis also had fiery exchanges with some of the reporters present at the conference, including about the unevidenced conspiracy theory relating to Hunter Biden - the son on President Joe Biden - that outlets allegedly suppressed. 'The Hunter Biden story was true. The typical corporate media outlets chose to ignore it. They wanted to beat Trump,' DeSantis said, saying the New York Post story about the claims 'couldn't get any traction.' DeSantis dismissed replies that the Hunter Biden story was inadmissible because it was based on 'hacked' information. 'You're trying to tell me if there's hacked information that could damage me, you guys wouldn't print it,' DeSantis said. 'Give me a break. You can whiz on my leg but don't tell me it's raining. You guys would print it every single day if you could. And Big Tech would allow it to proliferate 24/7.' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9218405/Florida-governor-Ron-DeSantis-declares-war-big-tech-cartels.html Should serve as a model for every state that values both free speech and privacy.

He's totally right. I love this line and its so true. Big Brother has arrived but he's not government, he's cool geeky guys that that wear jeans and t-shirts. Government is absolutely in bed with them of course. The exact same day the government canned a massive dats surveillance effort called LifeLog, FakeBook was started. I wish if Republicans were really concerned about this they'd discuss it in broader terms about the damage to our society and work to reign in the data captured and destruction of our privacy than just talking about conservatives being censored. I believe social media contributes greatly to the division we see in our country right now. FakeBook was started in 2004 and soon after divisions in our country sky rocketed. Coincidence? I think not. Social media is the greatest population Control device ever invented so far. And most people don't see it or care. Just keep sending me funny cat videos. Sad.

Who f...ing cares? Oh yea. The guilty. Edited February 7, 2021 by Big Blitz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is stopping you from moving? I have explained many places that while my house is more expensive than one up north that my lower taxes make up for the difference in mortgage cost per month. Other than that the cost in savings on heat and clothes balances most other cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not that people think it’s a utopia, but humans are naturally wired to migrate to places where there is more freedom...that’s why everyone around the world wants to come to the US...too much government control sux...😉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
