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.

Funny that Ron Desaintglobalist had elder people from the VIllages in FL and Laura Loomer removed from a parking lot because they had Trump flags and clothes in front of a bookstore that topgov was hawking his "The Courage to Be Free..." book at. Then the next day he had an unannounced visit to another book store, all documented by "Team DeSantis". What a fake, weak leader this clown would make. Jeb Deux.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) made clear Tuesday he does not support a bill that would require political bloggers to register with the Sunshine State if they intend to produce content covering state officials — including himself, the lieutenant governor, and members of the state legislature — for which they are compensated by a third-party.

The bill, which was introduced by Republican state Senator Jason Brodeur, would require bloggers to disclose the “individual or entity that compensated the blogger for the blog post,” as well as “the amount of compensation received from the individual or entity,” and impose fines on those who did not comply with the law and register.

Well there ya have it. A big nothing burger that even if passed, the governor opposes.
....and even if somehow it got enacted, the courts would find it unConstitutional anyways.
