What's new in Duhsantistan? Bloggers must register with the state

[1srelluc]

If you actually thought that would you accept the same treatment in a blue state? What if California wanted all their online political detractors to voluntarily submit their names to an official enemies list? You would lose your fucking mind with rage. It's only because this will never pass constitutional muster that I am only mildly irritated.

If the bloggers are making money off of it it puts them in a whole other category than just you or me spouting off.

Fascism has already come to America – and it’s the Republican party.

haha requiring businesses to register isn’t fascism nor is it something on republicans support

 

[Harpy Eagle]

i have no problem with Govt requiring business licenses

that’s never been an issue with anyone before

This is not a business licenses. Can you not post without just flat out lying?

sure it’s just like that. If they are bloggers engaged in business they got to register….like any other news agency

This law apparently would require them to register with the "Florida Office of Legislative Services or the Commission on Ethics". These are not the places where you go to register a business in Florida. The purpose is clear. It gives them legal standing to sue people out of existence who say the wrong thing.

Correct.

The purpose is also to intimidate and silence dissent.

Nope, not if they are engaged in business, only if they choose to write about the Govt. That you not only defend this but celebrate it is all anyone needs to know about you and you love of BIG GOVERNMENT

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

If it gives you heartburn the view was worth the climb.

Attempting to defend this manifestation of rightwing neo-fascism is reprehensible and wrong.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Correct.

The purpose is also to intimidate and silence dissent.

There was a time when I thought that DeSanits would be a preferable to Trump but with each passing week I realize that DeSanits is far worse than Trump

Registering as a business in Florida was a fairly simple process for me. If that's all they wanted the normal route would be plenty. What they really want is to create a brand new layer of bureaucracy with the sole purpose of shutting down dissent.

Things are just fine... how are things in communist Bidenese....

More government, bigger government at the expense of individual liberty – it’s who and what conservatives are.

Far more freedom than in Florida

Well if they keep everything on the up and up they have nothing to worry about.

A new bill proposed by a Republican State Senator in Florida would require anybody paid to write a blog that reports on a governmental figure in the state to be registered with the state and file information about their articles and compensation. Totally the type of thing that happens in a free society. Let me get this straight... republicans want to keep big business and wealthy donors to politicians veiled in secrecy, via Citizens United, but want to out the reporters the government feels are slanted? Something tells me Tucker Carlson wont be registering his nonsense. Florida to Russia "Hold my beer" while we turn the place into a toxic dump site of humanity.

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — 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.

If you are a liberal pos then dont come here. California is so much better

Of course they do. DeSantis is a low iq moron and thinks anything he doesn't agree with is "political" and "slander". They have plenty to worry about, as long as that pig is governor.

Ha, don't worry dummy.

DeSantis's "Make America Florida" slogan is going to get mocked mercilessly, by anyone with an iq over 50.

Yep freedom to steal riot rob and beat people up for no reason in Biden Wuhanland....

Is that really his slogan?

That's what he put in his book.

Haha, you freaks are terrified of your own shadows...
