Gov. RonDeSantis's signing of legislation barring Big Tech companies from content moderation, now under review in the courts, is a loose end in his legacy as he seeks the White House.
One of the Republican presidential candidate's biggest tech-related policy decisions was to back S.B. 7072, a bill that would allow Florida residents to sue a tech company for up to $250,000 a day for removing a statewide political candidate from its platform for more than two weeks, or notably less for county or local positions. The law passed in both the state House and Senate and was signed into law on May 24, 2021.
Florida and NetChoice asked the Supreme Court to review the case in October due to the split decision between the district court and the circuit court of appeals. The court sought input from U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Barchas Prelogar in January regarding whether it should review the case. NetChoice confirmed that it is still waiting on a decision but expects to hear something"any day.
DeSantis's fellow Republican candidates have all slammed companies like Facebook and Amazon and expressed their intent to rein them in through federal regulations. They also often say they intend to stop them from limiting conservative speech.
