companies' First Amendment rights

A judge has blocked Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' anti "deplatforming" bill, one day before it was due to come into force.

The bill, which DeSantis signed in May, was designed to stop social-media companies from "willfully deplatforming" political candidates in Florida by suspending them.

US District Judge Robert Hinkle issued a preliminary injunction Wednesday blocking enforcement of the bill.

If passed into law, the bill would allow Florida to fine companies $250,000 a day, and private citizens could seek damages of $100,000.
