Two Tech Trade Groups Sue Florida Over Law Creating Fines for Social Media

Two tech trade groups filed a lawsuit against Florida over a new law that would fine social media companies that ban political candidates, which they said violated free speech rights. The lawsuit, which said the bill signed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was unconstitutional, was filed by internet lobbying groups NetChoice and Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA).
