Governor Ron DeSantis just went to war with Big Tech. Finally, someone is. He says they have grown too powerful, and they have.
A recent Project Veritas showed CEO executives, including Jeff Zuckerberg agreeing they’re too powerful. Zuckerberg made it clear he wants to help Biden run the country on those issues important to them.
DeSantis explained at a press conference Tuesday that they control the flow of information to an “extent hitherto unimaginable. He said the core issue is this: are consumers going to have the choice to consume the information they choose or are oligarchs in Silicon Valley going to make those choices for us? No group of people should exercise such power, especially not tech billionaires in Northern California.”
The new regulations announced by DeSantis include:
- Mandatory opt-outs from big tech’s content filters, a solution to tech censorship first proposed by Breitbart News in 2018.
- A private right of action for Floridian citizens against tech companies that violate this condition.
- Fines of $100,000 per day levied on tech companies that suspend candidates for elected office in Florida from their platforms.
- Daily fines for any tech company “that uses their content and user-related algorithms to suppress or prioritize the access of any content related to a political candidate or cause on the ballot.”
- Greater transparency requirements.
- Disclosure requirements enforced by Florida’s election authorities for tech companies that favor one candidate over another.
- Power for the Florida attorney general to bring cases against tech companies that violate these conditions under the state’s Unfair and Deceptive Practices Act.

Given the absence of leadership, a real leader like DeSantis is easy to identify.
For example, crook Barr went on TV in 2019to give another performance, condemning censorship and implying action would be taken. That’s a coward.
Apart from Trump.DeSantis would likely be the only known politician I’d vote for. A person who wants the best for the people. A person who stands up and doesn’t back down. A person who can see other options rather than keeping the status quo.
Some countries around the world have grown tired of the comrade kommissar Zuckerborg hivemind of lameassery.
There are multiple lawsuits as they just don’t feel the unity.
Big Tech Bolsheviks knew that Trump would gut section 230 so they made sure their Big Guy got across the line.
Who elected these enlightened beings to fundamentally transform the constitutional republic?
Governor Desantis isn’t the only one looking to take Big Tech down. There are whole counties out there looking to put thumb screws on the captains of Big Tech.
