Ron DeSantis's new "cancel culture" law will die almost instantly in court.
Among other problems, it gives exemption to any tech platform that "operates a theme park or entertainment complex."
It's a nonsensical sop to Disney, & unequal protection mediaite.com/news/desantis-…

Beyond the obvious Disney carve-out, the law is a great example of how the flim-flam peddled as conservative technology policy is nonsensical and would harm them also.

Of course, the law would be struck down long before such a fanciful thing could happen.
But at some point, conservatives will be forced to accept the legal consequences of their whining about being banned for trolling.
They'll whine and cry about that as well. /end

I just realized that Trump is already vulnerable legally under the new Florida social media law. Since his website operation is part of an entity with more than $100 million in annual revenues, he can be sued the minute he allows comments and bans people.
