monopolies/
Former President Donald Trump on Sunday called on state governments to
pass legislation penalizing big tech companies who “silence conservative
voices” if congress fails to do so.
Trump raised the issue while speaking at Florida’s Conservative Political
Action Conference, directly challenging Republicans at the federal level
to repeal Section 230 of Communications Decency Act, which provides a
legal shield to tech companies for content on their sites.
“If the federal government refuses to act, then every state in the union,
where we have the votes — which is a lot of them — big tech giants like
Twitter, Google and Facebook should be punished with major sanctions
whenever they silence conservative voices,” the former president said.
Trump noted some states — including Florida — are already taking action.
“Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, and in Texas, and in other states are
doing this,” he said.
“If they do what they’re doing, Florida — and that legislation will pass —
and Texas and others will have tremendous power to do what’s right and
what’s fair,” the former president said.
DeSantis earlier this month proposed the Transparency in Technology Act to
protect social media users and hold companies accountable for censorship.
The governor suggested fines of $100,000 per day for de-platforming
political candidates, as well as daily fines for any 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.”
DeSantis also called for allowing people to opt-out of content algorithms,
requiring notification about changes in terms of service and providing the
right of citizens to take legal action if these conditions are violated.
DeSantis announced that under his policy, the Florida AG would be
empowered to bring cases against tech companies under the Unfair and
Deceptive Practices Act.
