Two internet trade groups sued Florida on May 27 over a new law that allows Floridians to take legal action against Big Tech platforms if they censor a user’s content without consistent standards.
Big tech companies that violate SB 7072 Social Media Platforms, which was signed into law by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday, can be brought to trial for monetary damage, and the state’s attorney general can litigate companies that don’t comply with the law under Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.
