   Facebook/Twitter lobby sues over law that protects politicians from   
   "censorship."   
      
   By Jon Brodkin   
      
   Trade groups representing Facebook, Twitter, and other major websites   
   have sued Florida to block a state law that makes it illegal for   
   social media companies to ban politicians. The industry groups say the   
   law violates the First Amendment - and legal experts have said the   
   same, as we've previously written.   
      
   Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the bill into law on May 24, slamming   
   what he called the "censorship" of conservatives on social media   
   websites such as Twitter and Facebook. The law, scheduled to take   
   effect on July 1, gives Floridians the right to sue Big Tech companies   
   over content-moderation decisions and prohibits the companies from   
   "deplatforming" political candidates and journalistic enterprises. The   
   law imposes fines of up to $250,000 per day on social media companies   
   that ban candidates for elected office.
