Ron DeSantis (R) told sources on Sunday that Facebook is censoring what the government, under Joe Biden, wants to be suppressed. DeSantis said they are strong monopolies that control a large percentage of political speech, but he said even greater damage has come from Big Tech companies censoring questions on the origins of COVID-19 and pandemic lockdowns.<\/p>\n<p>The Sunshine State\u2019s governor recently signed a bill called the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flgov.com\/2021\/05\/24\/governor-ron-desantis-signs-bill-to-stop-the-censorship-of-floridians-by-big-tech\/\">Transparency and Technology Act<\/a> that gives Floridians treated unfairly by Big Tech, the right to sue them. The bill also prohibits Big Tech from de-platforming Floridian political candidates.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2423117\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2423117\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2423117\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-777x431-1.jpg\" alt=\"LONDON, ENGLAND - MARCH 25: In this photo illustration the Social networking site Facebook is displayed on a laptop screen on March 25, 2009 in London, England.

(Dan Kitwood\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Florida Election Commission has said it will impose fines of $250,000 per day on any social media company that de-platforms a candidate for statewide office. Floridians have the right to block anyone, including any candidate they don\u2019t want on their feed, but ultimately that is their decision and does not fall at the hands of Big Tech companies to decide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany in our state have experienced censorship and other tyrannical behavior firsthand in Cuba and Venezuela. If Big Tech censors enforce rules inconsistently, to discriminate in favor of the dominant Silicon Valley ideology, they will now be held accountable,\u201d said DeSantis of the new bill.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/reporter-who-broke-tarmac-meeting-story-mysteriously-dies-at-age-45\/\">Reporter Who Broke \u2018Tarmac Meeting\u2019 Story Mysteriously Dies At Age 45<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fla.
