Ron DeSantis becomes first Republican governor to unveil legislation cracking down on Big Tech - TheBlaze

DeSantis cited multiple examples of overreach by social media content moderators, including the censorship of criticism of coronavirus lock downs, banning the sitting U.S. president, the suppression of the New York Post's bombshell Hunter Biden story, and the "decapitation" of Parler, a Twitter alternative popular with President Donald Trump's supporters that was kicked offline by Amazon Web Services for purportedly failing to impose satisfactory content moderation. "Big tech has come to look more like Big Brother with each passing day," DeSantis remarked, accusing tech companies of holding "monopoly power over a centrally important forum of public discourse."
