    Yet another fake claim because you can't prove. NOTHING in the bill prohibits social media sites from banning candidates. NOTHING. If you could find something you would post it.
    If and when Big Tech censors enforce rules inconsistently, to discriminate in favor of the dominant Silicon Valley ideology, they will now be held accountable.

    I know that hurts your feelings when you can't silence political candidates you don't like but lying about whats in the bill won't help you.

    It wasn't about a decision. You claimed

    You were wrong. Moving on


    Really, what internal rule did Trump violate?

    Another fake claim you can't support. Is this all you do is regurgitate extreme left talking points?

    You don't even have a clue if it makes it to the SCOTUS. Desantis is the Governor of Florida. Don't like it, Don't live there. In the mean time he will hold lefty media accountable for stopping candidates they don't like.

    Lets see, how many fake claims you haven't even tried to defend yet because you got called out.

    FAKE

    FAKE

    FAKE

    FAKE

    FAKE

    You CLEARLY have never read the bill. If you did you would provide those parts that support these fake claims. Instead, you just keep regurgitating leftist babble

    I have gotten in more trouble on this site than I have on FB. I do not really see a difference.

    That’s because you’re posting stuff which agrees with libs. Go on Facebook and post a bunch of stuff on abortion or transgenders or the like from a conservative POV and see how much trouble you get into.

    DeSantis knew this wasn't going to stand. He just wants to send the message to Trump that he's the crazy guy to succeed him. But DeSantis doesn't have the personality for it. He's too much of a woose to follow in Trump's authoritarian footsteps.

    Trump used Twitter and Facebook to organize the January 6 riot and their owners deemed him too great a risk to public safety.

    So Twitter and Facebook knew Trump was using them to organize a riot, he posted messages to organize a riot, so they allowed him to post messages about organizing a riot, and when there was a riot, they banned him?
    Thats what you're claiming?
    GURANTEED you can't provide this riot organizing post. Just another fake claim.

    Here is an idea for the Big Government, regulation loving folks on here....

    If you do not like what FB and Twitter are doing....do not use them.

    If you think you can do better, start your own platform and compete.

    Quit trying to get Big Brother to punish companies for their success

    What’s good for the goose…….

    Since Trump supporters don’t require proof and EVIDENCE, the same goes for the other side.

    So Trump organized the riot/insurrection on social media……..unless you can prove otherwise.

    I agree, the courts will probably and should strike this down. SB 7072 is just another example of trying to fix a problem by creating another one.

    Hopefully this leads to social media platforms that censor political speech losing their 'public commons' protection from liability for the speech they are -by virtue of censoring some but not others- necessarily promoting.

    Please don't lump me in with the GOP or Pres Trump. I want government to be involved whenever something has a massive and persistent impact on my life. Social media absolutely qualifies. At any point one of us can become the victim of the unmitigated power which social media has. I'm not just talking about being banned or suspended for saying something that big tech doesn't agree with, there are other areas of serious concern. Data breaches being able to compromise our identities resulting in long lasting complications, the ability for 'the mob' to target individuals and businesses for 'cancellation' or outright violence and the power that trending has to get that accomplished (power we know big tech has the ability to recognize early and stop but selectively uses), and the anti-competitive monopolies that these big tech cartels have created when they coordinate to drive alternatives out of the market and off the web entirely.

    Thats the usual answer from the left when they can't back up what they claim.

    Hence why the left has a batting average of 0/1000 after 6 years of fake claims against Trump. Nothing new here.

    To be honest with you, there's no hope to convince you of anything.

    You are intoxicated by the cult of Trump, and good for you.

    The important thing is that you and your ilk don't have the political power to curtail the freedoms of anyone in this country and for now, you are politically neutralized.

    Says the poster who can't provide a single shred of evidence to his own claims. I guess you couldn't find that post Trump made to get everyone to riot as you claimed.
    Or was I just supposed to take your word for it and move on.

    Heres an idea. If you can't back up your claim, don't post it. Then you wouldn't have to make more false claims against other posters to try and avoid answering questions. Posters who require you to provide evidence.
    Just a thought.

    That's your point of view, which I don't share.

    Judge Robert Hinkle who blocked DeSantis' law uses much the same arguments as I do.

    And the odds are very high that DeSantis knew all along that his law was going nowhere.

    Because the goal was to show MAGA supporters like you that he was doing something about Big Tech.

    And as far as I can see, it worked very well.

    Keep cultivating your victim image, Democrats like me love it.

    Which has nothing to do with the question I asked you
    What post did Trump make on Facebook and Twitter (That you claimed) made people riot.

    Any more deflections you want to add or can you answer the question? My guess is you can't.

    But in all your post you can't find a single post Trump made?
    Which means you are more interested in regurgitating fake leftist media claims than you are actual truth or evidence.

    By the way, your fake leftist quote says Trump pushed election conspiracy theories.
    NOTHING in your provision supports your claim that Trump posted anything to incite a riot.
    NOTHING you have posted prohibits social-media sites from banning any candidate running for public office in Florida,
    NOTHING you have posted shows where DeSantis wants to create two categories of citizens on the internet.
    NOTHING you have posted shows DeSantis asks that a political candidate be protected regardless of their conduct or writings.
    NOTHING you have posted shows a government cannot interfere with the internal governance of a company .
    NOTHING you have posted provides any law that prevents a social network from banning a political candidate who violates its internal rules.

    And when you are asked to provide any evidence of your theories you NEVER do. Because you can't.

    You're too predictable.

    In 14 minutes, you haven't had time to read the article, which is very thorough and shows step-by-step how Trump's Twitter propaganda led to the Capitol Riot.

    And you won't read it either because you don't have the courage to confront something that could negatively affect your worship of Trump.

    Suddenly you are worried about backing up claims ?

    When are you going to apologize for the 3 months of outright lies you and Dirty Donnie were repeating about election fraud ? For that matter, you people are still repeating these lies and trying to use it to justify legislation to suppress the vote, primarily minority votes (that favor Democrats).

    At least the charges against the Trump organization are backed up by a grand jury. The Florida legislation is backed up by nothing but the hurt feelings of Republican losers.

    The batting average of the left tells the story. 0/1000 for 6 years of whining about criminal charges.

    As for election fraud, you take a lot of liberties in making accusations. But thats been the MO of the left since the beginning. Just make claims without evidence. When you find those post where I was repeating election fraud, be sure to post them.

    Or was that just all talk as per usual?

    You misspelled consistent

    We all read it. That why I even posted claims from your article in my previous quote.

    The timeline tracks 365 days that built up to that moment. It shows how the president often glorified violence as a tool to confront perceived political enemies.

    The timeline shows how President Trump's statements on the day of the attack of the Capitol were part of a long and consistent pattern of behavior on his part driving people to the point of violently storming the Capitol,

    Trump said mean things so it was a dog whistle for everyone to attack the capital? So what was it for the previous 365 days? His post didn't violate any of Facebooks or Twitters rules while supposedly glorifying violence until after the riot?

    Either that makes Facebook and Twitter an accessory for the riots since they have admitted that Trump was doing it for over a year but they never took any action to stop it
    OR
    You and your leftist buddies decided to make up a bunch of fake ideas after the fact.

    Since we all saw how that same left made dozens of fake claims during the riot, (AND GOT CAUGHT) it stands to reason their claims after the riot are just as fake.

    What does batting average have to do with anything you posted ? Speak plainly.

    So you can state , categorically, that Biden won the election fair and square and his minions made up false claims of election fraud ? Just to clarify your position on election fraud.

    The pretzel logic and contortions from folks bending over backward to play to Trump and his base continues to reach some spectacular levels of absurdity. This law didn't even make it 30 business days. Dirty DeSantis's lets make college great again law is gonna meet the same result.

    ***
    Trump and his remaining loyalists and those that stick by their Never HRC / lesser-of-two-evils decision seemingly remain lost in a hall of mirrors, imo.

    Funny, reminds me of the scene from The Man with the Golden Gun, except that Nick Nack in the classic House of Mirrors:

    It means out of the hundreds of criminal claims, investigations, and attempts to remove Trump over 6 years, the left has come up empty handed 100% of the time.

    There is nothing for me to clarify. I never made any claim of election fraud. You're just trying to keep from back pedaling on you're own blind accusation.
