The holes in Florida’s anti-social media censorship bill

Florida’s Republican-dominated Senate has adopted a bill, SB 7072, aimed at containing the power of social media companies to silence users, including political candidates, by banning or shadowbanning them.

Championed by Governor Ron DeSantis in the wake of controversial decisions by Twitter and Facebook to remove former President Trump from their platforms while he was still in office, the bill, that will have to be approved by the House, has met with both praise and criticism, even from those who support the general intent behind it.
