Florida’s 30 Day Time Out Twitter Bill

What’s happening? Florida Governor signed its version of the “twitter bill” that prohibits immediately suspending a social media account, providing 30 day grace period. If no 30 day warning period is given, fines can be $250,000 for statewide candidates and $25,000 for other candidates.

Why is this important? Florida has a new resident who is a former President who was removed from social media platforms.

How will this be important? The role of social media and its role in relation to the 1st amendment is at its nascent for legislators and regulators.
