DeSantis wants to force anyone "blogging" about Florida to register with the Government or be faced with fines.

Florida Sen. Jason Brodeur (R-Lake Mary) wants bloggers who write about Gov. Ron DeSantis, Attorney General Ashley Moody, and other members of the Florida executive cabinet or legislature to register with the state or face fines.

Brodeur’s proposal, Senate Bill 1316: Information Dissemination, would require any blogger writing about government officials to register with the Florida Office of Legislative Services or the Commission on Ethics.  Brodeur wrote that those who write “an article, a story, or a series of stories,” about “the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, a Cabinet officer, or any member of the Legislature,” and receives or will receive payment for doing so, must register with state offices within five days after the publication of an article that mentions an elected state official. If another blog post is added to a blog, the blogger would then be required to submit monthly reports on the 10th of each month with the appropriate state office. They would not have to submit a report on months when no content is published. If compensation is paid for a series of posts or for a specific amount of time, the blogger would be required to disclose the total amount to be received, upon publication of the first post in said series or timeframe. Failure to file these disclosures or register with state officials, if the bill passes, would lead to daily fines for the bloggers, with a maximum amount per report, not per writer, of $2,500. The per-day fine is $25 per report for each day it’s late.

 

 

Oh, that's pretty chill. Nothing out of order forcing reporters to register with the state and supply reports to the government? As well as their earnings?

Ron DeSantis is even more thin skinned that Trump.

 

What a snowflake ❄

Cooke is right for once.... Its actually Florida Republican Senators. 

 

Those pesky republican senators, just wanting the free press to register with government if you want to talk about Emperor DeSantis. 

 

Very dictator-ish of them.

That was a dumb mistake on my part when I made the title. I was sloppy and meant to write Florida GOP wants....about DeSantis. I'm proud you actually read an article for once.
