Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced a new Digital Bill of Rights that would recognize an internet consumer's right to privacy and would require them to authorize any data collection.
Gov. Ron DeSantis announces Digital Bill of Rights to protect Florida consumers from surveillance, censorship
"We want to protect your right as a Floridian to have private, in-person conversations without Big Tech surveilling you,"at an event on Wednesday."If you want to consent to let them have this information so they can fashion advertising based off of it, it’s your right to consent to do so but it should only be if you consent."
"We want to protect the right to know how these internet search engines are manipulating search results [and have] transparency in terms of what they’re doing so you can evaluate if that’s a search engine that you want to use or maybe you want to take your business elsewhere." The Sunshine State leader further broke down each point, specifying that Florida's government would no longer allow tech companies to collect information from personal conversations — as many devices randomly collect information after being prompted by certain words and phrases.
"A couple of years ago, we were the first state to take the lead to protect Floridians against Big Tech censorship and we passed legislation that did a couple of things," he said."We knew there would be litigation and would have to be decided by the Supreme Court but we decided some provisions of law that said these tech platforms and these social media companies are not — by their own admission — publishers.
"They have terms and conditions and they have certain rules, but those rules are applied with a thumb on the scale against the people they disagree with politically. So you have seen people who have conservative views marginalized entirely, banned, de-platformed, shadowbanned and all these different things," the Republican said.He added:"So, what we have said is in the state of Florida we have consumer protection and unfair trade practice laws.
